A friend of mine has his this way w/ dogs chained to them but it may work inside you kennels.

Take you a good sturdy long pipe and weld a piece of wide channel iron on top like a T w/ the channel facing up.  Drive the pipe in the ground leaving the channel a foot or two above the ground.  Lay your barrel in the channel iron so it kind of cradles it and bolt it down.

For barrels that  are out in the weather, I cut another barrel into 1/4s.  Split it long ways then across the middle.  Bolt one of the 1/4s on top of your dog house so it hangs off like an shed.  Keeps blowing rain out.

I also drill a few small holes in the bottoms to let any water drain.
