New Kennel Idea

Post by AJR » Sun Mar 27, 2011 1:37 pm

I have a 30x60 shed that I would like to partially convert over to my dog kennels. I was thinking of pouring a concrete run on the back side and having only the dog houses inside the shed. I want to save as much space as possible, that why I was thinking of only having the houses inside the building. Does anyone currently have a set up like this? Any pictures or advice would be great.
Thanks All ,

A buddy of mine has one similar to what you describe. He has a dog door on the wall. The dogs can come into a bedding kennel about 2 ft X 4 ft.

That setup reminds me of the one my dad built, and it worked for him.

Basically there was 4-5 runs with concrete floors that were enclosed in cyclone fencing and each run had a door to individual houses/pens inside the building (sheet metal building).

Here is a picture of one of our kennels. This of course is a kennel building built for the dogs.

If you put dog doors on your building I would highly recommend dog doors by gundog door house. Here is a picture.

I have small kennel areas on the inside of my building but you could very well build just dog houses on the inside of your building.
