Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm thinking about going for these next year when I switch to all galvanised panels. Pics of people's setups would be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,608 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I used the blue barrels , I think jigsaw done thread on them while back,some have problems with condensation ,I never did, I used them years ago when I had dogs outside , I had them lying down for lurchers but for terriers some have them stood up. Drill 2 holes near top n bottom in line with each other ,screw 2 blocks of wood going across as feet. Then I drilled hole halfway along the lid,get a jigsaw do straight line across lid then going upwards follow curve of lid,so there's a semi circle opening for dog to get in an out but not drag bedding out with it.
