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?
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.
