NEWKID 26,983 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Nice one mate coming on well ..... My mate has greyhound kennels we made him a new kennel last year... Concrete pad, steel frame and Cladded roof and walls it's basically a small industrial unit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 after cheap wall tiles, any 1 got ideas weres the cheapest place to get these? Why dont you just paint the inside and outside with waterproof masonary paint..it might take a couple of coat's but it will work out cheaper than tiling it i would think.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pegleg33 134 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 B&Q are doing some porcelain floor tiles for about £7 a meter at the moment even less if you have a trade card. Not the best quality but alot better than any red/white bodied tile you can get as porcelain isn't as absorbent and will help keep the smell down. Pegleg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,734 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 A good idea when building kennels is to put the gutter at the foot of the bed section, between the run and bed, with a decent 4" step up to the bed area. Most people have the gutter at the front of the runs. It makes washing the runs out 10 times easier as you just chuck a bucket of water from the entrance towards the bed, a lot easier than chucking it from within the run to the door. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
