not mine but these are the exact same as my kennels and THE BEST setup i have ever seen.
top rails are 8ft. bottom rails are 10ft,so i can leave 2 ft over hang out past the rear legs to set the house on. from top of top side rail to bottom of bottom side rail is 40 inches.so i can use 3 ft high fence or material and it lands about in the middle of the side rails so i can attach it. outside rail to outside rail for the floor is 41 1/2 inches.i run the rails on the inside of the legs. the front and back is 4 ft wide, i run the 4 ft cross braces in the front and back accross even with the outside of the legs. that way i can nail or deck screw the cross braces to the top side rails and bottom side rails at the ends and to the face of the legs, it kinda interlocks the whole deal.if you look close at my pics you can get a idea of what im saying.(click on the pic to enlarge them).the legs are 6ft 4x4's.i have made them for others that are on 5 ft legs so the dog can jump in it without help. i have found the extra ft keeps the flys on the ground and not buzzing the dogs as much w/ the 6 ft legs.plus i can rake under them without getting on my knees..............TC
