shootingmike Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I need to build a new kennel this year as my current one is getting old and tatty. The roof felt is knackered and leaky and the back wall is buckling so it needs to be a complete rebuild. I'm planning to buy the wood and make my own to keep costs down. My current kennel is about 10 feet by 4 feet with a slope roof and faces into a slabbed run - (10 feet by 10 feet). I'd like to build something similar but a bit higher, as I have to stoop to replace bedding etc. I will probably separate the run into two as I'm looking for a new pup this spring so would like to build something with two bed areas. I'm thinking about making a good height shed and just building two bed boxes inside it so the rest can be used for storage.... Does anyone have any good pics of their kennels, home made or otherwise to give me inspiration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconBoy Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 got a 'damaged' shed from B&Q for £30/40(it had a small apex section missing which i didn't need),complete with screws,nails,felt etc,cut the height down a bit and hey presto a perfect kennel for two dogs.

shootingmike Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Spot on that Terry! A bit similiar to what I have already (a 10ft x 4ft with pent roof) I'm thinking about something similiar again but like this: 10 ft by 4ft, pent roof but fully boarded up at the front apart from a central door and a pop hole either side (for 2 dogs). Behind the pop holes will be draft flaps then bed boxes with raised insulated beds. That way the rest of the space can be used as a shed for decoys, coats, wellies, reloading gear etc,....
