you generally get what you pay for. you could spit through some of the cheeper ones.

 

Very True.

I'll take another look at the stockboard stuff when I get myself a spare minute or so too.

Which direction your kennel will face depends on the prevailing wind. It's a good idea to study the area for a few weeks. For example, our prevailing wind comes from the west, but this isn't the coldest wind: that comes from the east, so our kennels have their backs to the east: this way they also get a fair amount of sun during the afternoon as well.

I would only put kennels facing south if the area is not a sun trap: can get very hot in the summer in our yard, even with west facing kennels, so dogs need shade during the hottest part of the day. In very hot weather we hang those split bamboo blinds from the front of the kennel roof, unrolled to about a metre off the ground: this provides shade during really hot midsummer days.

Fair Points.

We seem to have wind come from every direction.....always!

Sunny Days are less of a common concern!

 

I have no idea about the actual construction of the kennel etc, but I know what I want it to look like and ideally have it built from blocks.

Any advice on how it should be / if it should be lined inside would be much appreciated.

ie- would a wooden 'box' inside suit, should I line it in timber top to toe, kingspan, or just plaster it???

 

Cheers folks,

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but I just want to get it right and do it once!
