those look good. I have thought of doing the same thing but i was worried about the smell over time of pee going through the cracks. have you noticed anything like that? or someone else that has that type setup?

i thought about using the heavy rubber stall mats or trailer mats on the floor to be able to wash it all to the back.

Ive been needing some kennels, and want to build some very similar, but stopped at tsc today and priced them, and at $550 per kennel, guess ill have to find another way, unless I can find them cheaper.

Those are definately some nice pens, we got away from wood floors a while back but I have always wondered if you sealed would it help in washing them out?

  How do you clean your pens since they are up on a platform.  And those are some good-looking pens

We have 12 kennels (5x10) that we built out of galvanized pipe n we put 4x4 wire panels on them front n back. Chain link in Middles.  We put dog houses outside kennels n attached them so dogs have full use of kennel. Gates have latches we can lock n roof is tin. We installed a misting system this year because of the heat. It's on a timer. Ours r on river sand/pea gravel mix. Great. No smell. Use horse rake for poop. I'll take pics tomorrow n post them.
