So I'm planning to get a dog in the next few months (a miniature alaskan klee kai), and I would like to be able to have my dog with me at work. Sadly I work in a laboratory, so the dog can't come inside, but the dog can be outside in the parking lot. I'm thinking about building a playpen in the back of my truck for the dog to stay in during the day. I work in a very nice, temperate climate in San jose. It doesn't get too hot or too cold, and it pretty much never rains. The parking lot backs up to an orchard, so we can go on walks there every couple of hours.
I'm thinking about lining the bed with fake grass, Having a crate in the back, some toys, water, a wifi webcam, and a radio(up high, away from chewing).
Here are my questions:

Here are my questions:
- What material should I use to surround the bed and prevent the dog from jumping out? I'm thinking about maybe pvc coated wire. Has anyone seen something like this that is prefab?
- Should I put a top on the thing if it's already 4.5ft tall? Putting a top on it would make it more complicated to build, and harder to get into the area to clean, but maybe be more secure?
- Has anyone ever tried or seen something like this before?
