Plastic Barrels for beds.


Recommended Posts

Im thinking about using the plastic barrels for beds. I was just wondering what you boys think of them. Also what size barrel is best to use? I was just going to put them on there side with a small hole cut out for them to get in and out. Drill some ventelation holes in the roof then maybe put a rubber cow mat in and fill it with straw.

Gentleman, inclosed are some photos of my plastic barrel dog houses. The ones I choose to use are 15 gallon (About 55 liters) plastic barrels. The barrels are sloped approximately 2 inches from back t

make some vents in them (water tight) or it will be piss wet through with condensation

Not so brilliant if the dog chews and eats the barrel.

Iv'e got inside kennels and use plastic barrels cut in half stood on their ends with a square cut out so the terriers can get in ,all i use for bedding is shavings ,if you wanted it warmer then make a wood lid to go top.The barrel size i use is the ones you see on the side of the road with salt in :whistling:

thats all me mates use is the blue barrels.................brilliant when you got a destructive dog that chews everything

Not so brilliant if the dog chews and eats the barrel.

its better than wood and the barrel takes a long time to chew .............and is cheap (free) and does the job of keeping the mutt dry and is draugh proof

seen these on google ,brilliant,

 

When I kept mine in barrels I enquired about these kits and there was not a european supplier for them.

I drilled 2 holes one side ,used to short lengths of timber as a stand,to stop them rolling around ,and cut half of one end out as a door.

Paid tenner a barrel ,and better than the wooden ones the dog chewed in a month.
