Guest markbrick1 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well lads and lassies im building new kennels iv got a space of 16ft width and 6ft long so i thought id break it down into 3 blocks of 5.3ft width and 6 ft long or maybe into 4 blocks the width would be 4ft and length the same 6ft.. there will just be a built in bench... It will be made out of wood as it keeps the heat better and it will be only be there for at most 3 years or would i be better off with blocks? Right down to the nity grity it will have a concerete base half a foot deep so i reckon 10 bags of cement and a 1 ton of gravel should cover it!?? will have an intergrated drain system hooked to the houses shore. Then im going to felt the roof ... anyone built anything like this if so be greatful of some pics or just your kennels in general show us your kennels.??? And if your thinking jesus i thought he would have kennels no didnt have them here used keep the dogs in a buddys kennels but we have parted since last season so its time to get cracking and build me own.. Terrier man just check your concrete mix TM..............that seem a bit strong!!! try and use 3/4" limestone chippings (with dust) and cement at approx 4-1. if you use chippings with dust you won't need any sand and you'll finish up with a stronger floor. why only 3 years?????...........perhaps if you used blocks it could be converted into somthing else in the future?? cheeers sean 1 cubic metre equals i.25 ton approx of sand 8 old bags 100 weight per metre is a good mix for light concrete work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slickdicko 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 1 cubic meter will do 10 square meter at 4 inc and you should pay no more than £145 for a cube pal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bitsa lurcher Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 If you don't use sand, there's every likelihood of it cracking. You want to be mixing your concrete at something like 6 chippings to 1 cement & 1 sand. I've done my fair share of concreting! spot on there "maltenby" i used the same mix when i did mine years ago ...... moved in where i am now about 5 years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
