44 those look good. I'll be honest if I could afford to build some nice kennels I sure would. I keep mine on a 10 foot chain. Thats the same room they'd have in a 20x20 kennel.

Luckly i all ready have an old slab from a burnt down shop. I stained the slab but i was looking for a possible way to deal with the waste after its washed off the edge of the slab. Thinking of cutting some 6" pvc in half length ways to curry it to one spot. Unless i come up with something else. Btw i like those iron fencing looks good blastin

Dig u a hole and place 2 55gal drums in it to act as a solids tank and a liquids tank just as the septic tanks we use for our houses. Put an electric pump in the liquid side and set it up on a float system to pump the waste water out into a leach line field.

David I just built some. My old set on skids rusted out after a few years. What I did this time was pour a slab with weld plates. You could just anchor some plates into your existing slab. I built panels out of 4"x4" panel and sucker rod. Left two inch legs on the bottom to spray under. I'm hoping the solid rod will last me much longer that the square tubing. Was cheaper too. I did run square tubing across the tops to screw the roof into.

Poured a curb in the back and left enough room to run a flathead shovel between the curb and kennel.

Since we are on the topic of kennels. Do any of yaw know where a person can get the gauged wire they use to build the 10x10 round tube kennels? I think the wire is 9ga, but not sure. I was thinking of getting a couple rolls of hi tension 9ga wire, get some 1 1/2" sq tubing and weld the tubing up in 10x6 panels and drill holes in the tubing, tacking the wire end to the top, pulling the wire thight and tack the wire to the bottom tubing and repeat the steps for the lateral strands but weaving those strand between the vertical strands. I know it's a LOT of work,  but doing it that way will allow for custom size builds since the hog and cattle panels only come in 4' or 5' tall sizes. I would rather use the wire used to build the hog/cattle/utility panels, but I can't seem to find that size wire in rolls for retail sale. Any of yaw got any insight or contacts as where a person could get panel wire by the rolls? What's yaws though on building ea panel basicly by hand?

Someone had posted the best I've seem not to long ago. It has drain and a 6-8 inch wall in the back that acted like a back splash for washing poop down .. brilliant
