vduben 55 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 the thing is if you pernamently cover the roof it stops there being rain in the run and halfs the wind whistling around, also helps if the end blocks are half bricked up or fully bricked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onion jonny 527 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 why a bad idea to use tiles on the ground Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 cause the piss soaks in between the tiles,around the grout and the floor never dries,is always cold and smell to high heaven.just my experience anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 what ye reckon with this stuff,if I had it raised off the top of the walls by a foot maybe?Plenty of ventillation.But would it make the kennell area very dark I reckon it would be a life time job though. http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/otherproperty/2205542 It would last for life though I reckon.What roofing materials have any of you used and how good or bad did you find it.

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 why a bad idea to use tiles on the ground concrete floor , bearing in mind what way you want the water to run for washing. use the amonia resistent concrete<same as they use for horse stables>. you can black jack the surface of the concrete aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 never heard of amonia resistant concrete W99,I'll enquire about that.Black Jack being a dye I take it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,902 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Thats what I used 10 years ago,timber and torch on and its still like new,I'll price around and see what I can find. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 cmere,your views on this,a lad told me today to cut a wavin pipe in half,a 4 inch diameter pipe and sink it into the ground and concrete around it running along the outside of the gates of the kennells.Lay 1inch galvanised box wire on top and into the wet concrete,which holds it permanently in place, over laping a little on the edges of the pipe.This he said is as good as an ecco drain.Hes done it with his kennells and works a treat.Just have to have a 1.5 inch fall out to the main pipe.Im going to look at it during the week.The cut wavin is connected to the drain that goes to the house waste suir.Does this sound plausable,well it must be as hes done it and its worked for the last 8 months hes told me without a problem.The best bit is you get 2 drains from every pipe.
