| At East Coast Crates all of our crates are expertly handcrafted out of sheets of anodized aluminum. Aluminum: - strong
- lightweight
- cool
- non-absorbent
- will not rust
Anodizing is a chemical electrical process that causes the dye to be permanently instilled into the metal. The result is a harder finish that will look new year-after-year. It will never rub, chip or peel off. In the past un-anodized aluminum crates were painted on the inside to prevent the residue from rubbing off on your dog but in time this wore off and you were down to the raw aluminum. Make no mistake...anodizing is the superior method of treating and protecting the aluminum for your high-quality investment. |
