Snowsilk make excellent PVC boxes - ours is 10 years old and still going strong so was well worth the initial outlay.

www.caninekennels.com Do a great selection of whelping boxes. We've found ours great, I think it's something like 3ft long by 3ft wide ;)
Gud luck,

I agree with Jane, I have a snowsilk box, its just over 5 years old and still looks brand new, plus it's easy to take apart for storage and very easy to clean.
