Do you know anybody with a portable welder, weld on brackets onto the four corners suitable for timber, bolt timber onto brackets, you can use tin and clear perspex sheets so to let the light in,, just nail or screw the sheets of tin,,, hope this helps mate.

your far better using plastic coated box profile sheets on they can be screwed straight onto your kennels just go to any fastening company for steel fixing screws. or ask for sheet to purlin tech screws.

if you know any shed builders . ask for some cover sheets they are generally thrown away.

Good idea cleanspade, the top of the galvanised kennels will be level, longtail you will need to raise one side for the rainwater to run off, your tin will last far longer.
