lindsay 1 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Rob.Bob,what did you use to insulate the kennel mate? Quote Link to post
ROB.BOB 21 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Rob.Bob,what did you use to insulate the kennel mate? its the boards that you can see, 3 inch rock wall insulation on the roof and 3 sides ( the fluffy stuff, we were going to use the solid type but it would have made it even heavyer) then mdf for the inside, and the windows double glazed so we didnt do all the insulation for nout Quote Link to post
ruthi 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 It looks great, impressive what you using for drainage? We're in a temporary tied cottage that's really a holiday cottage with some kennels stuck onto it and the drainage is awful! A right pain to clear out lol. Good luck with the rest- looks amazing Ruth Quote Link to post
