neil82 1,066 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 not easy to make some thing bigger when you realise you need more floor space, go for the biggest you have room and a budget for 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think the top one is a better design, bars are safer surely?. I do like the drainage gully too, nice touch to make life easier. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Are these ones your thinking off buying or building? First thing I'd be doing is making the doors bigger instead of mucking about squeezing through 500mm doors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nothernlite 18,076 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 top one looks better whats wrong can you no make your own mind ffs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,751 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 That top one! The fittings look more substancial and it uses a proper galv panel. The other kennel looks to just have 2" weld mash stapled on, a boot would go straight through that, and the fittings don't look as good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've got one virtually the same as the second one. Quality is piss poor. It's falling apart 6 months down the line. Felt is shit. Fittings are shit. Dogs have chewed it to bits aswell. Honestly get galv bar panels. 1m panels £25 each. £35 with a door. Then galv corrugated sheets for roof and a kennel box inside. Will last forever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 The galv run in the photo is 2m x 1m and cost £160 plus roof and kennel. I plan to have 3 of them runs 3m x 1m side by side with galv roof over the lot and a kennel box at the back of each one. Gaz. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz. cheers mate, but if you dont mind me asking other than to stop someone climbing over what good is a roof on something like the galv pens?? as its not going to stop the weather? thats what im looking for is eaither 1 of the top 2 but after hearing what everyone has to say i sure i'll be making the right decision by going for the 1st 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
