Ok wise doodlers......

The PB&J gang are getting big. Seriously I currently have 140 lbs of doodle running around on 12 legs and the poundage is only going to grow as Pickles gets bigger. while the doods have runof the house during the day they all sleep in crates. They even go into their specific crates when they take naps with the door wide open. They also go in if they want a break from the other two rough housing. Currently I have Brisby in a XL plastic crate that I used many years ago for my rottie mix before went to the rainbow bridge. Jake is in a plastic crate that is a Large which worked when we got him at 8 months but at almost a year he has outgrown it. Pickles is in a medium plastic crate that I used for my beagles before they passed. But at 13 weeks, pickles is now 24 lbs and 16.5 inches at the withers so I'm thinking he won't be a medium size when he is full grown (1 parent was a standard and 1 was a medium) but probably closer to Jake or Brisby. So I'll have three big boys.
Last night the latch on Brisby's XL crate broke. So I need to get something new for him, a bigger one for jake probably the same size as Brisby's since he's only an inch shorter and then I need to upgrade Pickles.

Ok do I go with Plastic or Metal crates? For those who like and use crates what do you prefer and why? I am cringing thinking of 3 XL sized plastic crates in hubby and my bedroom but honestly metal or plastic it's gonna be big. I'm going to need to invest in 3 XL crates of some kind. I can get nice covers for the wire crates if I need but I want something secure and comfortable for my dogs.

I want to make a decent decision here.

Thanks for your input.

I and PB&J greatly appreciate it.

I use the plastic ones.  One on each side of the bed, and use them as night stands!
