Wooden Crates

Crates can be made of wood, plastic, metal or other materials. The term 'crate' often implies a large and strong container. Metal is rarely used because of its weight. When metal is used, a crate is often constructed as an 'open crate' and may be termed a 'cage'. Although a crate may be made of any material, for these reasons, the term 'crate' used alone often implies one constructed of wood.
