Claim:
1. A size adjustable crate system, comprising; a. a support base with four straight perimeter edges, an inside surface and an outside surface; b. a top panel with four straight perimeter edges, an inside surface and an outside surface, said top panel being substantially the same size and shape as said support base and located above and aligned parallel to said support base; c. four rigid side walls disposed between said support base and said top panel, each said side wall includes an exterior surface and a straight lower edge and a straight upper edge parallel to the support surface, said side walls being perpendicularly aligned with said inside surface on said support base and perpendicularly aligned with said inside surface of said top panel, each said side walls being the same width and configured to be aligned on one edge on said support base, each said side wall includes two or more side wall components, each side wall component used in each said side wall being the same lengths and configured to be stacked together along one edge thereby enabling the overall height of each said side wall to be adjusted, said number of side wall components used in each said side wall being the same so that all of said side walls are the same width; d. a plurality of pegs and peg holes formed on the adjoining edges of said edges of said side wall components enabling stacked side walls components to be locked together; e. a plurality of first exterior straps extending between said support base and said side walls, each said external straps include a proximal end affixed to said support base and a distal end selectively affixed to said exterior surface on said side walls; f. a plurality of second exterior straps extending between said top panel and said side walls, said external straps include a proximal end affixed to said top panel and a distal end selectively affixed to said exterior surface on said side wall; g. a plurality of elongated slots formed on said support base and inside said perimeter edges; h. a first set of hook or loop connector pads attached to said inside surface of said support base; and i. a plurality of elongated interior straps, each said interior strap includes an end connector configured to be inserted when aligned in one way into one of said elongated slots formed on said support base, said end connector configured to resist removal from said slot when extended through said slot when rotated into a blocking position, each said interior strap also includes second set of hook or loop connector pads configured to attach to a first set of hook or loop connectors attached to said support base, whereby when said end connector on said interior strap is inserted into said slot and rotated to a blocking position and said interior strap is extended around an object, the hook or loop connectors on said interior strap attaches to a first set of hook or loop connectors on said support base to securely hold said object in a fixed position on said support base.
