Kennel advice


Recommended Posts

Looking to build a new set of kennels lads got a space of roughly 9M x 3M, so looking at putting 2mx 2m runs up leaving me a 1M in front for access and standing etc.

looking to build them out of run panels solid on back and sides then gates on front and then having thermo boxes in the runs and a roof covering the complete runs.

what do you lads think is best to put on the floor ? concrete base or slab it. at the moment its just overgrown hardcore/chippings. was thinking concrete with a slight slope towards the back of the kennels to drain away. what price would i be roughly looking at supplied and laid for a concrete/ slab base of 9mx3mx maybe 300mm depth. not building minded atall. i know it is going to be get a builder in and price it job but thought maybe a few lads would have an idea before i do that. cheers

Here’s mine mate all insulated but it’s shed and kennels and I put a concrete base in with drains,I went for the barrow service and it’s 18ft by 10ft 6inch deep on pin kerbs.It was all done in an hour

I just done a shed base 2 meters by 3.6 with a ton bad 8 bags a cement 100 quid by hand ? 

Definitely sort a drain first. even if it’s a ‘ soak away ‘…. You  can pick shite up but water has to go somewhere. id definitely put a concrete base in…. Bit of time but well worth the

thanks for the reply tony Was looking to put a like half drain pipe at the rear for it to run into on a slope to then run away to the soak away if that makes sense haha. i think i prefer the sound of concrete tbh no gaps etc 

Thanks atb BT

If the budget allows painting this in the runs would be great as bare concrete will soak piss into it and smell..or another brand of road Paint..
