Barbarian1990 220 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I've ordered my new kennel block but it comes 6ft tall and the tallest they can make it is 6ft 2. my question is shall I put a course of breeze blocks down with a gap in between to allow for cleaning or just bend over for the time I'm in the kennels? My kennels at the min don't bother me that they are low as I know I'm getting rid of them but with my new ones being more permanent I don't know if to do the extra work before hand to make it more comfortable in the future or the amount of time I'm going to spend in it wouldn't be worth it?

johnpee 214 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Do them properly and you'll only do them once. You'll soon get sick and wish you put the blocks in and end up putting them in anyways in the near future 3 Quote Link to post

Havelightforcewilltravel 417 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Instead of blocks I would go for course bricks the put some damp course between brick and timber. 1 Quote Link to post

Whitebuck 145 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Get some nice decorative stuff now mate, the likes of bradstone and that. Looks really well. 1 Quote Link to post
gnipper 5,945 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Is it not 6ft tall but with the adjustable feet underneath which makes it taller? Quote Link to post

smasher 1,055 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 You could always screw/bolt some timbers to the top of panels and fix the roof onto them,would gain you a few extra inches Quote Link to post
the goat 642 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Do them right first time mate...i spend alot of time in my kennels and it'd seriously play on my brain if I didn't do what I wish I did...and id end up rearranging it anyway? 1 Quote Link to post
jake824 517 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 put them on bricks mate. It ll stop any legs under the panels and when u wash down no shit will go under into the next kennel . 1 Quote Link to post

gnipper 5,945 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Mine are on the adjustable feet and I've fastened timber on the top to bolt the tins to so there's plenty of height in there. 1 Quote Link to post
