Show us your kennels

[lampingboy 284]

I've searched the site but can't seem to find a similar topic but if there is, please could you post the link? 

Finished renovating the house I'm in about 16 months ago and with the weather (hopefully) soon to break, I need to build some kennels. I've got in my head what I want but would be keen to see what others have done before hand, whether it's the premier Inn or Hilton of dog kennels, let's see them.

Few pics of it so far. Still a work in progress, works been busy the last couple of months. Between that, family life and everything in between I've been trying to plod on with the kennels when time allows. Picking up a new lurcher pup next week and a mates gifted me a black bitch so will have to pull my finger out and get the last few bits sorted ASAP.

Thanks mate, reasonably happy with them. They're 4800 x 3250 which was my limit with my garden unfortunately. The concrete floor slopes to the drains which are set in an L shape so easy to clean out. Also easy to change the layout depending on how many dogs you've got. I've got room for 4 1500 x 1500 kennels or a mixture of sizes as I've got some 1200 and 2m panels too. 

Just got to add the sink unit, hot water heater, chest freezer and a few wall units or shelves for storage. 

I was going to render the outside but thinking of battening it and insulating in between for noise purposes then composite cladding. Can also add an intake fan to keep some fresh air circulating in the warmer weather if it gets a bit hot but shouldn't be too bad I hope.

Just a small setup but does me. Can get three in a pen at a squeeze.
