[jcm 2,327]

Will be sorting a kennel in the garden ready for new dog around Christmas time but I'm in sure on weather to build with wood or block build and what type of design I will be doing so any pictures of your kennel and run set up would be great cheers guys

I spent 5-600 on a wooden one about three years ago and iv already replaced it with a block and tin roof job.

Wood gets too hot in summer and can get too cold in winter, they chew it, piss makes jt smell after a while and you have to treat it evry year.

I spent about 800 on a big block one, more or less a garage with galvanised fronts. Well happy.

So it right first time round

I'm just on with a block one 21ftx14ft with insulated ply lined bedding boxes I'm just waiting for plaster to get back off hols and render it for me. Soon as it's done il get some pics up

Think mine is 18ft x 9ft terrolene it and painted it cream think it looks nice in garden as well. Green roof with insulation and then I got a wooden box off the floor, and freezer in there. Plenty big enoigh for two dogs

Here's a pic of the block work on mine before the roof and the sections went up ....drainage imp is very important I have a channel at the end run that runs into a soak away also I have one entrance gate to all the runs that is always locked ...something else you have to think about these days

Pros n cons with both block ones are great until you decide to move PVC/wood easy to take with ya..

Cracking set up

Mine.like being said make sure you have good drainage.

If I had a choice I would go block every time with raised bed and insulated and a concrete run with 1 block all way round and built in drains but if you do go wood route just a shed design with raised bed with a run with slabs down does the trick if you know your not going too be there for years

any more pics of kennels for ideas I'll be working with a space 11ft wide space between fence and steps into my garden and I could come out about 5ft so it doesn't take to much of my garden up
