I would build them out of horse panels. Frame with word and staple or use tubing and weld

Cheapest and strongest way to go is to build them. Go to tractor supply and get the utility panels. They're 5' tall and 16' long with 4" x 4" mesh. The only thing my dogs can't tear through. I made a 32' x 16' deck covered in deck boards and divided it into 4 kennels . The deck is about a foot off the ground. I made my doors out of 1" angle iron with two gate latches on each one. I leave a 3" gap around the bottom to help wash it out. I made dog houses in the back about2' off the floor that the have to jump into. It's the best setup that I know of and cheaper than anything else. I'll try to find some pics.

I have wood frame kennels with welded wire and wood floor right now, but was kinda looking into maybe a concrete floor and some metal frame kennels. Just trying to see what was the cheapest way to go.

I have been using these now for 3 years. You start with a complete kennel and just add on to them. I installed a roof over them and couldn't be more satisfied. Made for a real nice set up. They have some kind of e-coating and then powder coated. http://www.tarterfarmandranch.com/switch.php?fn=catalog.details&cod=DKFHDG&site=gsa&emp=gsa |

I want concrete floor. I am going to use hog panels because the smaller hole size on the bottom keeps puppies in or out. Then I will use rolled welded wire to make them over 6' tall so I can stand up in the kennels when I go in. Then add corrugated metal for the roof.

I'm far from a concrete hand so what thickness would be good for concrete floors? Of course it has to hold up to the weight of the kennel and the dog plus any other weight in the kennel. How thick have y'all made the concrete and did u just use sack Crete or did u make a form an get a concrete company to come pore it?

I'd go 4 inchs with a thinkened edge , to figure your mud. Is length x width x depth divided by 27 gives you cubic yards , .33 is 4 inchs 8 x 10 x .33 divided 27 is basically one yard unless you have a account there's a min yardage. , if your we're going to pour of any size a truck would be the
Way to go ,a 10 x40 4 inchs thick. 5 cy 400 bucks , form up yourself , pour self leveling if you prefer and broom to your likeing. Good luck
