Matt,

I can tell you that lots of thought went into the planning stage before I broke ground so to minimize waste materials.  Lots of things such as the size I made everything was done to accomodate material sizes. Kennels were purposely made 5' X 15' because the panels came in 20' lengths.  One panel made a side and one door, etc.  I used 22 joints of drill stem, and other than the couplings I cut off each end I only had one single three foot piece left over.  

The kennels are a good distance from my house, so I had to also run almost 850' of pvc to get water down there.  I also buried electrical conduit, but got sticker shock when I went to buy the copper.  Not sure what I'm going to do about lights.  Don't you work for a power company now?   Grin

If interested, or just to get ideas I have detailed records almost down to the number of screws it took to build it.


Kevin,

Yes, those are Dee's kennels.  He had some pups for sale a long time ago and I saw his kennels in the background.  I contacted him, and he took and emailed me a TON of pictures.  Several phone calls later, I had the beginning of my design.
