wuyang 513 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Built a couple of box kennels in the past..turned out ok....not brill.....I was going to buy one but now looks like I'm going to build one again. Im wanting to know what wood you'd recommend....sheet ply.....tongue n groove etc for the external..thickness etc It's going to be insulated.....would kingspan type be best and what thickness What would you line the inside with ply....what thickness ( although I can see one of my bitches taking a leek in it because if it's raining out she's that way inclined. I will be using some sort of anti chew angle metal around the edges. Thanks Quote Link to post
Wild-Bill 499 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Try that hardie backer tile board inside the box if your bitch pisses inside. I would imagine it takes a lot more wear and tear than ply when it comes to piss and wet etc. Just a thought as it will soon get to ply. 1 Quote Link to post
