codmaster127 64 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 you say your timber kennels last approx 4 years?, build new ones using tanalised(green) timber, you might have to order the t&g but it will last forever, make them in sections and bolt the corners with galvanised coach bolts (screw fix) so you can take down or alter if req, when you erect them make sure you pack them up off the ground a little (stops the dampness ), (roof , just get metal box section cut to size, put a fall on the back and make sure it over hangs so the rainwater runs away , usually into guttering and away from the pen), i always run a light in for the wintertime and always put a bench in with a solid panel behind (keeps the wind off) easy to build, use only galvanised nails /staples , and the same goes for the mesh, might have been able to help if you were closer, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
