New Kennel Set Up But I Need Advice On The Shed Floor

[onion jonny 526]

This worked for me PK.

 

Shed Front 02.jpg

 

The yard had a good slope for cleaning but I needed to put a shed in one corner.

I wanted a space to keep pups or a sick dog locked inside.

That would mean that the floor would need to be hosed down each day.

The plate is called "Diamond plate", it is non slip and used in industry for platforms.

It is fairly cheap and any good fabricator in your area could weld the shape to suit your shed.

It has turned up sides and back. The front is shaped to divert water out the door.

Once the shape is correct the whole thing is hot dip galvanized. (Zinc plated).

Totally waterproof and rustproof.

Sloped from back to front so that a bucket of water will drain out quickly.

It is very easy to clean and will last a lifetime.

LOOKS good but i would worry about a dog lifting its leg and pissing down the side which would go under the plate and stink and rot the shed, i know its turned up at the sides but i would guess a dog would be taller than the sides and they would piss over the side.

These photos were taken while it was being built, Sides will be marine ply with 50mm insulation behind.

The marine ply will overlap on the outside of the turned up edge. Sealed with thin galvanised sheet nailed to it.

Any liquid will flow down the walls onto the floor and out the door.

The idea is that I can flush the shed with a garden hose when it is finished.

Tommy, you are probably right. I have not checked in a long while.

That would make the cost today about 125 sterling ?

I take it if it waterproof it shouldn't soak up dog piss ?

[Tommy pepper 222]

Could use the stuff they use for wet rooms. Put a tanking membrane down then the wet room floor stuff, it's stiff and like a grainy feel to stop you going arse over tit when it's wet.

This is the problem with wood kennels there is so much pissing about with maintaining them and in the end they will still stink and end up rotting. Is the mesh you've used from the building site panels mate?

Have a look there mate. Obviously the price depends on your floor area but for a shed it shouldn't be too bad.

its the same size but came in sheets from "somewhere" its much thicker that them pannels. the out side is 2x2 weldmesh with 1x1 heavy duty weldmesh for 18inch along the bottom to stop them pulling each other thru!

[sikastag_1 689]

Ok mate I thought it looked like the mesh on them panels you don't want to be using that stuff it's soft shite and an accident waiting to happen
