Thoughts on new dog kennels

Well, as I now have two dogs that will need to be housed here at home. I figured i wanted to put up a cheap, easy, functional set of kennels here at the house to compliment the single kennel I have now.

Functional, check. Easy, (relatively) check. Cheap - absolutely not!!!

144 12" patio blocks $216
4 Tarter heavy duty dog kennel panels $430ish
1 Double door front kennel heavy duty panel $250ish
2 Dogloo type houses $230ish

$1200 bucks and about 7 hours of labor x 2 (me and the wife, she's a trooper!!) Holy cow, nothing is cheap anymore except my time!!

The kennels turned out pretty good, think the only change I will make to them is to attach the houses to the outside of the kennel to provide a bit more space for the hound.

Now to find a hound worth $600 bucks to keep in them!!

nice setup

It looks nice.

Thanks guys.

If you have not done it, go to a Menards or like that. Get a sand mortar mix spread it around and dampen it. Learned from mistakes. Looks Great

Thanks!!

I like the set up. Nice yard by the way. My only question is are you going to put some kind of roof over it?

I am contemplating a lean to off the back of the building. The single kennel I have now we put a shade up in the summer time and deal with the snow.

Hoosierman, my wife is passionate about her yard. Thanks for the comment, she will like that.

The boss ordered the dog doors so will have them for cold weather.
