mad al 146 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Box profile or corrugated on ply on a frame/rafters will do the job, don't bolt the sheets directly onto the frame/rafters as you'll have condensation dripping forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,899 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 DONT DO IT.I roofed my kennels 3 years ago,the worst mistake i made.I tiled the floors and the smell of piss in there is unreal.I wash my kennels out every morn and night and it honks.Ive started a new block of kennels and theres no roof going on these runs.The floor is constantly wet.it never dries unless its the summer(if you've experienced an Irish summer it doesnt dry much then either)Just polish your concrete floor and have a fall out for the water.When I'm finished my kennels I'll put up a few pics.I'd never roof a kennel again unless it was going to be the puping parlour.
