Mine I had four 6ft post dug two foot deep spaced out 8x8 with fencing around it and diving it 4x4 I used plywood for the floor cause it was cheaper then 2x4 u do have to take more time to clean it out but it saves money

I have a concrete slab that is 12x20. i think im gonna fence it in and add a devider and then build a devided dog house on the back of it and add the gates by the dog house. plus putting a wall on the back side. that will give each dog 12x10 with a pretty decent size dog house. and put cedar shavings inside the dog house

My pen is 12x12 the dog kennel is 10x10 it has a divider in middle so each run is 5x10..
The lumber was roughly $500.00 it's all treated...
The roof was couple hundred..(metal)..
I like it a lot ..like I said waste sprays rite out the back...

How long have you had them. I purchased over $5 grand of them a few years back only to have them rust out and TSC not stand behind them. I had a simular setup like yours and I hosed out the kennels and kept them clean even in the winter months when possible. I believe the moisture left from cleaning them had alot to do with the one setup but my other kennel was out in the sun other than just having a roof for shade during the hot months but they didn't hold up much better. I sure hope you have better luck then I did with them. You have a great looking kennel setup!! I have the AKC surpreme kennels now and there not cutting the mustard as far as not rusting either.

I bought 2 kennels & set them apart so all I had to do was make a span with a door for the center pen.
I put down used brick over shale (cheap) lots of drainage easy to clean
I put wood post & footballs in for the boys to wiz on instead of the cage wire & post
They have inside dog boxes I'm still working on it but when finished I hope to have outside boxes for them as well
each run is 5'X15' with 12' of it under roof I did not have to shovel snow this year!!!
I used cul lumber from local lumber yard & mixed or open bundles of shingles that they just wanted rid of it also was very cheap
In colder weather the water bucket sat inside on top of boxes & they didn't freeze up
