Mud will be cheaper around here in Central Texas. I use iron horse. 60-70/yard. 3 yard min.Title: Re: Guru's Help with dog kennels Post by: ETHHunters on June 06, 2011, 08:55:38 pm Man concrete for 70 dollars a yard is cheap. You can't get it for less than 100 up here in northeast Texas.
Title: Re: Guru's Help with dog kennels Post by: ole shep on June 06, 2011, 10:20:51 pm Hey Mike, good to hear from you. The 5 x 20 is in case I use 10 ft. Panels. Debose has 5.5 x 10 with 4x4 . Yea Belton pipe is who I called I use them a lot . BTW catching any. We were doing good at the ranch. Then went to a corn field. Man they handed it to us.
Title: Re: Guru's Help with dog kennels Post by: Bryant on June 07, 2011, 08:25:21 am THey cost a little more, but use 2" X 4" panels on at least a couple of the pens. Pups can get through the 4" squares, and grouchy dogs can get a hold of one another through them as well. I've had both, and just don't prefer the 4"X4".
Title: Re: Guru's Help with dog kennels Post by: ole shep on June 07, 2011, 09:29:50 pm 10-4 on 2x4 couple of my buds pups went next door to visit coon hounds. They dident make it home.
Title: Re: Guru's Help with dog kennels Post by: Heaven Sent Kennel on June 07, 2011, 11:16:19 pm 3 or 4 inch C-perlin. I used 4 inch and is prolly over kill but I like it. It's like .90 cents a foot or something like that.
