Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 a few bits of advice.. they need to be more protected from wind needs anti chew strips around insides them padlocks will come off with just a decent pair of snips you need to find a better way and for the price of wooden ones you could of built a good block set only some thoughts I dont know you at all but you sure find it awful easy to be a prick. Nice set up stej. You should be proud of it. why all i did was give some constructive thoughts gained through experience,he asked what everyone thought so i said what i thought what the hell is wrong with that as im sure a lot of lads will agree they are good points,not picking trying to help the lad No big deal, I just thought you came off a little tough on the fella. I guess I took exception with the last thing you said about cost of the wooden one vs. the block deal. No big deal, I just thought you were being an ass sort of. I think the fella is proud of his set up and maybe he likes the look of wood better. I was also sayin what I thought. HAHA! Sorry, couldnt help myself. Quote Link to post

YEAH IM GOING TO PUT A BACK BOARD UP FOR THE DOGS THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE,AND I HAVE A DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT RUNS BEHIND THE RUN,ALL THE WATER RUNS THAT WAY AS ITS A DOWN SLOPE PAVE,THANKS FOR ALL YOUR ADVICE,AND THE COMMENT ABOUT THE SMALL LOCKS,THEY WOULDNT MAKE THE RUN IF THEY WERE AFTER THE DOGS AS MY FREIND ON THE CHAIN WOULDNT LET THEM.

Simoman 110 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks good to me, as long as the dogs are warm and draught free. I can only reiterate what the other guys have said, my runs are weldmesh but I have seen aviary runs rot in double quick time and also the water has nowhere to go when you wash down.
