nothernlite 18,260 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I've been 'planning' (in my head) a block built kennel and run all on a cement base, plumbed into the drains for easy wash down, and was considering having an 18"-2' wall around the run, with bars on top. Does anyone with more experience with dogs than myself see any issues with this? Option for the kennel is to build the 'wall' around the complete base, but build a wooden kennel on top, in effect keeping the wood up off the floor. Was unsure of how to 'finish' the inside of a 'completely' block built kennel, ie, line it with Plywood, insulation etc. as it would end up on the floor. With my sub-wall idea, I thought I could line it from there up. If that makes any sense. Any thoughts on this, or indeed photos of what you have would be much appreciated. Cheers. PS - Sorry for straying of the point, but thought it kinda tied in. plaster the inside or just paint it good quality bar panels for me mesh is to easy cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greg64 3,043 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I had bars for years ,then moved and built new kennels and thought why not have mesh ,after putting mesh at bottom of bars to stop pups going in and out, what possible advantage has bars got over mesh ? none I can see. the only advantage with bars over mesh is if your dog is a climber its a lot easier for them to climb mesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
