We have a wonderful set up for him in our utility room which is set up galley style and can be gated giving him an area of play approximately 4'x12' when we are away. However, the best place for his crate is only 18" wide. If we pull the crate out he moves it around and could get behind the washer and dryer-not safe! The following link made a custom crate for us, 40" long x 18" wide x 20" tall, for less than $100, including shipping. I superglued a carpet square fitting those dimensions for the bottom, a 42 inch lambswool liner also fits the bottom nicely, and grandma made a crate cover (actually several to change with the holidays/seasons!).
Problem solved and Buddy is quite happy in his new space. We generally leave the crate door open (except during the night when he is vacationing at grandma and grandpas--no area to gate).

You mentioned "the following link" - did you intend to post a link to the place that made the crate for you? Would like to check it out, if you can still post it.
Glad you found something that worked out for you.
