Title: My First Attempt at Making a Kennel! Post by: NechesBobcat on July 26, 2011, 11:50:31 pm Threw this thing together today. Still got to run a water line to it and come up with some kind of presidential solution to run the dog turds back to a ditch behind it. There's a few little things I keep thinking of to change but its coming along.

Post by: NechesBobcat on July 26, 2011, 11:55:03 pm Just for bthe record, this is also the first thing I've ever made out of wood besides a fire. I'm used to making everything out of metal so don't look too close at it. There's probly all kinds of stuff I did wrong but I can say that it is perfectly square from top to bottom.

It was built out of neccesity and I needed it in a hurry and only need one. The way I did it, I will be able to come off the sides with as many more as I want but unless I get a catchdog I'm good for now. Definitely going to build one or two more before huntin season though.

Title: Re: My First Attempt at Making a Kennel! Post by: leonidas on July 27, 2011, 07:27:09 am I like it... The only thing I think you did wrong was spend to much money on materials. It prob could've been done cheaper with less materials..but hey if you ever wanna turn it in to a deck just push the kennals off. The only other prob I just thought about which prob wouldn't happen but could would be a accidental fire.

Post by: NechesBobcat on July 27, 2011, 08:19:29 am I think the wood and tin were around $500 and the chain link fence about 300 at tractor supply.
To fix the fire hazzard in a kennel a person could run a heavy monofilament line around the outside of the kennel attached to a weight hanging up high and another heavy nylon string or cable going to a long handled valve so the weight could open the valve if the monofilament ever got hot and broke. You could make a cheap sprinkler out of one piece of small PVC with holes drilled in it. Sounds crazy but I bet it could save a dogs life. Title: Re: My First Attempt at Making a Kennel!

Just joking with you bud, it looks awesome, when you gonna come build mine? Title: Re: My First Attempt at Making a Kennel!

Thanks for the compliment. I doubt Woody and Chockie will ever darken it's doorway. I'm going to put the new pups in it. Gunna try to expand it to make 3 or 4 more kennels so I could have a catchdog in one, and each other dog in one. Let's wait till cooler weather to build you one. I had my cousin over here helping and I made him sick as a dog. I think he threw up stuff he ate last Christmas. Title: Re: My First Attempt at Making a Kennel!
