lewis Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi Mate, I Literally just made some more kennels. heres a few piccies. Just cut a hold in my stable block- this leads to a big insulated box which you can get into on the inside. Built up the sides- barrowed 3 and a half tonnes of type 1 in. Arco drains in. Railings £300, slabs £100 Bits n bobs an extra £100. I have wooden kennels too if you want to see em. Cheer's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moz Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Here you go........ 3m X 2.5m run base with drain Used these 'tiles' for the shed base. Cheaper,quicker and better draining. 10' x 8' pent shed. could have been much smaller but decieded to put a dryer and freezer in there along with space to dry wet shooting stuff. Made a proper door and added a window (ebay specials-real bargins!) Pop hole made from scratch. Ally bar stock and resin impreg board- maybe cost about £25. Lined, insulated and tiled the sleeping quarters. And almost finished Run with roof- £360 Shed-£550 Door+2 windows- £40 Concrete base- £200 Shed base- £120 Additional timber, tiles, drains, guttering, insulation, electrics- I daren't look. Not cheap though. To be honest I got carried away. The dogs live better than us now :blink: Suppose It depends on how far you go. Mates rate, trade discount etc. The small things add up though.

jay851 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 nice one moz, looks great mate and the kind of thing that im looking into. do them run panels just bolt together and then to the floor. also how did you insulate the sleeping area. cheers, jay.

moz Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 nice one moz, looks great mate and the kind of thing that im looking into.do them run panels just bolt together and then to the floor. also how did you insulate the sleeping area. cheers, jay. 3 panel sections, all bolted together. realy easy to fit. All of the kennel manufacturers sell them, the delivery can be expensive though. The roof is a luxury but give me undercover work/drying area. Insulation-just used non itch roof insulation, lots of other options but I was in a hurry and needed to get the kennel habitable. Lewis seems to have a knack of building nice setups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
