Finally got around to taking some pics of the watering system and feeders I put together. When thinking it through, I didn't want the water bowls or whatever held the water to be fixed in place. I knew because of dust and idiotic male dogs that piss in their water I would have to have a way to periodically empty and wash the containers. What I ended up doing was using buckets held in place with snaps. Then I built a watering system where each bucket has a pipe extending down from the framework. The system is run by an irrigation system timer which turns on at a set time and waters for a set time. I measured how long it would take to fill all buckets from empty to full...3 minutes. Obviously the buckets are never completely empty so the excess just runs over and down the drain. So far it works flawless, and the only time I touch the buckets is once a week to rinse them out. Then press the manual cycle button and they all automatically refill once again. Also with all the piping being overhead, when the system turns off, everything drains by gravity so no water will remain if it should freeze outside. For the feeders, I opted to use a custom designed feeder that I had made by T-N-T Body Works out of Florida (Gale Tuggle always has a booth set up at Uncle Earls). I like the feeders because they mount to the outside of the door, and my kids can easily feed without having to open the kennels. Puppy feeders are the same, just a little larger size. No bowls to have to find and wash the piss out of, move around to wash, or anything like that.    |

I would sure like to get my hands on a few of those feeders, can you pm some info on those. I use the goat feeders but they get water in them when it rains and blows. I think your watering system is brilliant!

How do you keep them from bailing out the top? I got a dog that is part Air Jordan. She would hit the platform and and be gone... very nice setup.

I have one dog that jumped over into the next kennel a couple times trying to convince the neighbor to become his girlfriend. I pulled the welder back down and covered the back half of his pen with some of the panel I had left over. I still have two 5' X 5' pieces, and will prob. do two more pens when I get the chance. No other dogs have tried to get out. During the summer, a lot of the dogs liked to lay on top of the barrels with their front and back legs hanging over. I only have a couple of dogs that will stand on top of the drums. very nice.....where did the drums come from.....they look flat sided? ? fill us in how they are mounted.....Pigstkr The drums are just regular round soap drums. I just spaced two runs of angle iron where the barrels would saddle between them. I never had a dog knock one off, but they kept rolling them. Recently, I drilled a hole through the barrel and the front piece of angle iron and put a single bolt and nut just to keep them from turning. The front of the barrels are only cut half open...idea was to leave a lip to keep hay in. Another lesson learned...even a tiny bit of hay and septic systems do NOT get along. That was a mistake I won't make again. I also recently made a puppy ramp. Used two pieces of 2"X6" fastened together, then bolted a piece of angle iron across the top where it would easily hook onto a platform. I made it long enough that the slope wouldn't be so great they would have trouble climbing it. I have two 8-11 week old pups in there now, and both within minutes figured out how to run up to the platform and get in the barrel. |
