Damn phone!!!


Do 16x16 (full panel) 
Im trying to use what fencin stuff was left here. I have some 8-9 foot 4"round wood post I also have bout 50' of 2"x4" wire.  Id like to have the kennel about a foot off the ground.   Ive been savin scrap wood at work for the floor.   

Please post some pics of your kennele please and any ideas.  Hell I may just pour a 8x8 concrete pad.

Thanks and God bless

Mine is 8X12 and split down the middle by panel to make 2 6X8, with a recessed 3X4 whelping box in the corner. The divider panel has a hole cut in it so that the gyp can get away from them when its time to ween. I also have a fold down gate over the hole so that I can segregate the gyp from the pups, otherwise she might eat all of their food too.

Mine is a foot or so off the ground, and wood floored, which helps with bugs and stuff, but you might want to put carpet or something soft in the box after the pups are born. For what ever reason, I have a terrible problem with hotspots when a nursing momma is on wood floor.
