Building A Kennel

We are looking to build some new kennels at the house and wanted some ideas on the best and CHEAP way to do this. I will be putting them on a slab and hope to have about 5 or 6 of them. 6'x10' Is what I have now but they are on dirt and Im tired of covering holes. If anyone has any Ideas or pic it would help me alot.

KENNELS

THE BEST IS CONCRETE. THE CHEAPEST IS PUT WIRE DOWND AND COVER WITH ABOUT 1 INCH PEA GRAVEL. THE FENCE WILL KEEP THEM FROM DIGGING OUT

Just finished my second. Measures 6 x 12 and duck flooring 2' off of ground with cattle panels all around and a 2 x3 door. Keeps them up off of dirt. Hose off pad and bleach one in a while. toenails need trimmed ever so often.

I run a mailing list on yahoogroups for building dog kennels specifically. You may enjoy participating there.

I have photos, etc up of our kennel as it was in progress on our website.

If you decide on concrete flooring keep an eye out for a house being built having the footers/ foundation poured I got my floor 4 " thick 12x22 done for 2 cases of beer and $40.00. left over concrete from the driver of the truck...
