kennels

[harddigging 42]

im currently in the process of building a new kennel block they are going to be built out of block with a ply and felt roof the size off each inderviduale pen is going to be 3'wice by 8'long but i cant for the live of me decide wheather to have the partioning walls block or mesh. mesh will give them the elusion of looking larger and let them see eachother block is cheaper and stronger i think the dogs can winde each other up threw mesh and begin to hate each other all opinions welcome cause ive been pondering on this for months now and decion time is getting close thankyou harddigging

use both mate i have . blockwork for four courses then mesh on top .easier to clean and stops them arguing. paint all block work and concrete with floor paint before you use the kennels and it make the kennel easier to clean with a floor squegie.

yes agree at least put one row of block with mesh on top does help when hosing out, biult a few always thought this the best way

[harddigging 42]

there is defenatly going to be one row of block even under the gate pannel to stop anything rolling out that shouldnt plus to slow the dogs down when opening the gate ive allready thought about the half block half mesh option but i can see it causing me problems while building them id have to have that mesh built to mesure so ive got something to hang the gate of on the top half

go for the block with mesh on top mate i had a bull x tried to pull a terrier through 2 in weld mesh not a pretty sight when i got home from work

[harddigging 42]

thank you for that ive already fitted channel drains in the pens so it just a case of wash and go they are plumbed into the main sewer do you not find that you get condesation with the box profile sheeting

[harddigging 42]

i dont suppose you have a website address for dog health typed it into google and it came up with every thing but also where are the best places to get the box sheets thankyou its appreciated

Irecently built new runs and did blockwork and mesh. For the mesh I used one of those HERAS fence panels cut down to size. They're those 6 feet high security fences you see round construction sites. Worked a treat.

Just be careful if your drains are linked to the main sewer, rats may come up the pipes and give one of your dogs a nasty nip!!

Seriously though, make sure you've put enough angle on the surrounding concrete to drain into it.... there's a patch in mine that stands in water and it really does my head in every time i see it... and i dont live in it!!!

im hoping something a bit bigger might come up the pipes you never know what somebody may have had as a pet only to be flushed down the pan

Nice set up, well done. This is one block of mine, all inside, ceramic tiles, soooo easy to keep clean.
