Kennel Ideas.

dogs will get plenty of light through that roof and I wasn't keen on the idea of losing the window but you didn't lose any light plus you can watch the dogs whilst your cooking.

 

If he sticks up some FHM posters then I will clean his dogs out for him.

I was thinking about putting a gapped fence run on the other side with no roof for nice days and the dogs can lay around in there come summer. For now though as winter is approaching it should do. Cheers for the replys and advice guys.

p.s rew i will hold you to your word pal lol

My kennel has a solid felted roof over both bedding box and run...that way they are sheltered from the elements without having to lay in bed,keeps them dry and shaded from sun in summer. It has a 4 x 4 ft grated window so they can see out and I can see in and is always open during the day so they can have the run of the yard too. Dogs need fresh air, free access to out doors and space to play. You need to remember they are not just a tool to be kept in a shed until you need them, they are a living being and a dam good companion too.

For a first attempt its not bad but like others have said they need to look outside or boredom will set in,a run on the front divided into three with pop holes would be perfect,i would not of had the kennel that close to the house either.

Having the kennel that close to the house saved me hundred of pounds as there was already concrete down. The dogs get out of the kennel alot during the day just chilling in the garden also like i said before when you open my back gate you hit fields upon fields and the dogs are on there 3 - 4 times a day. Thays not including general walks and going out hunting. The dogs have enjoyed the perks of living in my house for years as ive never bothered with a kennel but now my missus wanted them out so had to bang the kennel together. The dogs seem happy enough in there and also with it being enclosed and weather proof it will help the dogs adapt to outside living especially now winters coming. The dogs have plenty of light in there as the roof is see through aswell.
