Those are looking good, my only thing is not having the roofing material right over the kennels is the dogs would crawl over the top. My son currently has one dog that crawls out by jumping on the barrel and then crawling the panel and out about 6" to 8" gap at the top, he is going to have to fix that this weekend. What are you going to do for water?? I had a long set that I ran 4" pvc all the way thru and just outside the first pen I rigged a float, cut a small hole in the top of the 4" pvc in every pen so the dogs could water. I used screwed ends so if I needed to wash out or something, usually kept clean chemically(bleach). It seemed like the white pvc helped keep the water a little cooler, because mine where on cement like yours I even would jam the float a little in the summer so it would run over(just slowly) keeping a little cooler water flowing in all the time. Really looking good.

We are just picking up the top for the kennels today. We are placing some cattle pannel on 4 of them. We have 2 dogs that jump or climb over.... and I need some for when the females are in solitary confinment. I like the water idea! I think we are going to install some misters because it gets freaking hot down here.

I thought of something along the same lines, but the only thing that worries me about that is one dog being sick and having the same water source as the others. I know it's probably a long shot. |

I was worried about sickness too. I was thinking about one pvc water line with a faucet at each kennel. Then use a float from Tractor Supply and use metal bowls or container so the dogs don't chew em up. Then you can turn the faucet off in an empty kennel. My dad was talking about the one valves you put on a faucet and they lick to get water. That way there is no bowl to get dirty. He wants to use all metal pipe in the kennel so the dogs don't eat it. |

Been working on them all day just came in. The landowner will not let us hook up directly to the water pump. He wants a holding tank. We were building the frame today. We should be done early tomorrow then the barrels and fence for the run area. There are 16 kennels and I have 4 more on wooden floor we are going to move over there. Cutting it close if not tomorrow Monday dogs get put in....we have bird dogs, hog dogs and bloodtracking dogs.
