A few pics of mine. Drainage at the front of the runs and sleep box at the back. Rubber floor with a few blankets and what not and heat lamp for good measure when it drops to a few degrees

One thing I really recommend to anyone is a roof over the runs. Amazing the difference it’s makes. Not hard do either. I roofed this myself over the summer on my own and sheeted few weeks after when I

I’m very surprised nobody has had a bash at making them sleep boxed like monarch an them sell, surely there’s somebody who can work with that placcy stuff?

It makes a big difference, uninsulated (like mine) act as a heat sink , insulation allows the dog to at least heat it with its own body heat and prevents frost/cold getting to dog, as well as creating a cooler place in the summer. Can also add a flap or curtain to provide more comfort. I have an insulated box abroad where temps reach minus 20, dogs were fine. Here I need to improve what I've got a bit with some insulation , going to be increasing the run off angle tomorrow as the run holds a little water .

So are them monarch kennels just kingspan between 2 pieces of plastic then. I read it as some sort of insulated plastic 

Have a sit on a piece of kingspan within 30 seconds the heat is amazing..

Excellent stuff...

It’s probably just pvc laminated board it has insulation properties your probably better off just ringing up the main dealer/manufacturer an finding out exactly how there made or ask for a sample of the material there insulated from they look smart though
