WE MAKE THEM OUT OF THE PLASTIC RIBBED PIPE BUT WE CUT A 6 INCH STRPIE OUT OF THE PIPE SO ITS FLAT ON THE DIRT AND ITS MORE NATUREL FOR THEM TO WALK ON , WE DO THEM IN A PEAR SHAPE WITH A DEN AT THE FAT END OF THE PEAR AND SOMETIMES PUT A BEND IN THE ENTRANCE AND THEY WORK WELL A GOOD LAYER OF SAND IN THE DEN KEEPS THEM WARM

 

 

SORRY FRO CAPS BLOODY BUTTON STUCK AGAIN

From experience the best constructed ones are useless if they are place wrong .Out the wind but more importantly ,out of view of the public as well as the go anywhere brigade in short they need to be kept quiet.Concrete blocks rub the terriers shoulders badly mind if narrow.

agree with topper if you are going to use plastic the best way to do it is cut the floor strip out, foxes dont seem to like walking on plastic also dogs get smashed to bits slipping in to there quarry, artificials holding just depends on what other holes are in the area, for instance round me they are run in artificials every week by the hounds but there not really worth going out of youre way 2 check if you are out digging as the results are pretty poor! however i helped put some in on a big open moorland estate over the border and the first year there they were cubbed in and regularly hold fox, area is key!

like has been said plastic ducting pipe works, cut a 1/4 section of the duct for a natural floor, position is more important than material imo
