Kennel Set Ups folks Please

[Daniel cain 42,791]

 

John from gwent galvanizers is a sound fella-rang him with the sizes and had them made in a week also supplied the roof sheets etc.my block of 4 terrier runs with a roof came in under 800 notes.20160929_185646.jpg

The gap between the door and panel seems big Daniel is it, Would You run into bother with pups and young terriers? I'd have preferred the hinging to be a bit tighter than it looks, tidy setup tho.

I don't keep dogs that grab others(only one place they go)-they won't enter each others runs or boxes-I spend time socialising all my dogs be it terriers or lurchers.not had an accident in over 15 yrs fingers crossed.atb dc

I'd be well suited with summat like that

I built these for my mate a few weeks ago. Still a few finishing touches to do but nearly there.

Nice job them general

Nice job them general

Cheers Chesney, I only done the blockwork on the days I wasn't working, he done the rest himself. Still has a bit of plastering to do and lights and a walkway around. Then when it's finished we'll christen the shed with a few beer some night and get the stove lite.

. I was thinking of knocking some of what I have here in the next while might go for a tidy set up similar to that.

Never say never,ive seen terriers that have almost lived there entire lives peasefully then for no reason all hell kicks off,prevention is the best cure.

I'm looking to put corrugated tin on the roof of my Galv pens just after tips for attaching the timbers without buying the brackets for a tenner each?

[h tomlin 11]

Just drill through the top rail of the run and screw to the timber

[stop.end 4,079]

4x2 on there edge and notch the timbers to suit the panels. Slip them on and screw the tin to them.

[leethedog 3,071]

Long tech screws no drilling involved but you'll need a battery driver

I thought about that but the doors open inwards and would catch the way I need the fall on the roof.

[gnipper 5,944]

Would cobalt drill bits go through the frame on panels easy enough?

[jimmy8 6]

does anyone heat there kennels in the winter

I never said anything about grabbing each other or fighting, so your method of socialising isn't in question. I simple ment a handy terrier could get his head out between the gate and panel, and a pup could easily walk through, it's 2" weld mesh, so 2" squares, and judging off the picture I'd be guesstimating that gap is similar size to two squares so around 4".... So I suppose my point that the chap from the galvanisers may be a top bloke but his workmanship is shoddy enough if he needs that much of a gap to hinge 1" box iron!!
