ferreterni 29 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks, have to ring the blacksmith welding place in the town. Won't it rust if not galvanized? Suppose if it's cheap enough don't matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose if it's cheap enough don't matter. just paint it with black hammerite paint it will take a while though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k9delboy 138 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 nice kennels mate. did you put polystyrene under the bed before concreteing it. i done this with mine and it keeps cool in summer and warm in winter. i built mines with the help of my son. good to have lots of height for walking in to clean eh ?. Well done to you ATB, DEL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 That's a nice and tidy set up, but personally I'd want a bed area with the option of being enclosed in the cold weather: open bed areas are great in summer but don't offer the dog any protection in winter: OK for GSDs and the like (heavy coated breeds) but for small dogs or lurchers they are likely to get chilled.

twiggy 12 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 the bed is raised of the ground 2inchs and plywood all round the inside.As for the cold i had a pen next to it only bigger and the same bed had no problems im making the big one into a shed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
