Dustem Dave Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Celotex board or kingspan not cheap though and you'll have to line the kennel to stop them chewing it, comes in various thickness's from 25 mm upto 100 mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune82 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I insulated mine with 40mm polystyrene board and then lined the kennel inside with OSB board. He then has two 2x2 metre fleece blankets which he makes into a nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 gosh you making me feel cruel now! Keep them free of damp, drafts and the worst of the weather and they will be fine. I do heat mine with a simple ceramic heater in the boxes in the winter and don't allow dogs in the house all day only to then turf them out at night into the cold so they do aclimatise to the outdoors.
