Title: My new kennel
Post by: skmarcus on January 21, 2016, 09:19:36 am
Just wanted to show off my first of six kennels.  Happy with it so far.  Its on 4x6's so I can drag easy.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160121/1b3c80d8e59d44750ee433627ac05beb.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160121/efc474b0e9f075c5bd89efcc1481b6f7.jpg)

Ha!  It was a bigger chore than I thought.  Ill make yours next.  Frame and the deck went quick but the house and little pieces took some time.  I've got all my measurements now so Ill prob cut material for two at a time now.  So far the dog has peed and crapped on the expanded metal every time.

That is a sweet little set up man. Don't wanna go nosing in your business but round about how much it cost to make that dog mansion?

Bout $450.  Its a 5'x12' with another 2' of house.  I built it to fit on a 5' wide trailer.  Has a hinged door on house, 2 doors on pen and a chain hookup by both doors so I can chain them in the summer months but they can still go in and out.

Thanks guys... Im really proud of it!  I looked at a lot of other kennels posted on this site and took different things from each.  Thats why I posted it.  Thought it might give someone else an idea.

Nice kennel. Man its wierd, I talked to a buddy of mine about 3 weeks ago, he's a welder from elgin. Name is garret. I told him I wanted to make some kennels, he was sending me some ideas. And he sent me that exact pic of your exact kennels. Same exact picture! Small world, I think I mite of caught him in a lie on him making em. But he's fool of $hi* anyways hahaha he was just probably showing me the idea. They are nice!
