EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I'm considering on getting some custom dog kennels built and was looking to see if anyone
Does it on the side. I'm looking to get some made out of 2x4 horse panels. Im trying to mainly get a price idea.  Maybe on 4-5 ft wide by 16 ft long or 5x10s.  Call or text 985-320-5683 thanks

I build mine out of 1 1/2 sq tubing they are 4ft by 8ft 20ft long 5 section with 4x4 panals with two by six boards for the floor. With everything I got bout 1200 into it that's everything they are portable and kennals are two foot off the ground. I'll post some pic

Thanks for the reply.  Please post some pics.  I been thinking hard on doing something just no 100% sure yet.  Prolly get a slab and all, but wanting to get ideas from others.

Take a look at Tarter Farm and Ranch  Equipment Elite Series Dog Kennels. You buy the panels you need and put them together.
You can build 5' x 10' or 10' x 10'. They are all welded  and powder coated and corrosion resistant. Mine are 2 years old and not a speck
of rust. I attached 4x4's across the top and put a metal roof. They just sit on the slab. Very heavy . No need to bolt to slab.
I paid aprox. $550. per kennel. I saved on the second one because it shares a panel with the first one.

Very nice looking set up.   How many dogs you usually keep in each kennel?

Mine are 10'x10'. I keep a bull dog and cur dog together in one kennel  and a female cur by her self in the other.

Sounds good. Deff an option. Thanks a lot.

Str8Upcustomkennels.com  this is a friend of mine in south oklahoma. Hes builds custom kennels.

I checked them out.  They look good. But I'm thinking on concrete.

Built this one, 28 foot long 7 foot deep.

Good looking set up. Was that for personal use or did you build and sell it?

Look up Behlen Magnum kennels. They manufacture livestock panels, feeders and such but make a real good kennel too that holds up to rough dogs. Your local large feed store should be able to get them.

They offer both Powder Coated and Galvanized. Spend the extra money and get the Galvanized ones if you buy them. The Powder Coated ones WILL rust out in about 2-3 years if you have male dogs in them. I went through three 10' x 10' pens before I figured out to buy the Galvanized ones. My pens are now 8-9 years old and not a spot of rust.

I custom ordered the front panel to have a door at each end and put an extra panel down the middle so I have (2) 5' x 10' runs. I can't pen my dogs together , so this works for me.

I can't use chain link pens, my dogs chew through them and will beat you to the truck. So I wanted a pen to put them in that I KNEW they would be in when I got back. These fit the bill. They are pricey, a standard 10' x 10' pen will run about $1,000. But if you think enough of your dogs, they are worth the money.

I checked out the kennels today at tsc and look good.  Just goin to see if I can get some more
Ideas before I Hersey on one.

Just for mine at the house, good for getting dogs up off the ground and easy to clean

Anyone else? 

really like this set up my father-in-law raises greyhounds and walker coons but he keeps his walkers on dirt or half inside with outside runs im trying to find a better set up for my dogs i really like the raised on wood idea is that plywood or 2x's?

everyone should post pics of their setups i need more ideas im gonna build them myself im tired of the TSC kennels

just saw them closer up and i see the 2x's.......my bad ...but hey some detail on how they work and if the dogs like them maybe some exacts on how you built them would be cool

Kennels are 5x8 made with 2x4 horse panel.

Im fixing to get some 1 1/2" thick wall pipe and #9 steel wire n build them from scratch. I cant find #9 wire panels in 20'x6' so i im gonna build the frame, space the vertical wire 2" apart, weld them to the frame and then weave the horizontal wires at 4" intervals and weld them on both ends and in the middle.
