All i have is phone internet so i cant post pics but i got a 18x21 enclosed carport ,i put sliding doors on the ends , insulated top and sides with foil faced bubble wrap,keeps top and walls from dripping moisture when temps change ,added one extra bow which made the legs 4 ft apart ,and i ordered them 6 ft tall and ran my kennel panels off of each leg ,so kennels are roughly 4w 10 L 6 t and built wood dog houses across back side prob 20 or so tall 4 ft wide that way they can sit/ lay on top or inside .i left the other 8x21 or so ft opened so they can get out of kennels for awhile while im cleaning them .kennel gates on ends so i can leave sliders open.i ran 2x4 s all tbe way around the bottom and put gravel down .at the top on the ends i put tinted corrugated polycarbonate to let more light in

Not sure how elaborate you wanna go but i just did a 6 dog kennel. It is an indoor/outdoor setup. The runs are 3' wide x 6' long inside and 3' wide x 8' long outside. The inside part is concrete floor with rubber stall mats and an elevated platform for them to lay on. The outside area is #57 stone with perforated drain pipes below which lead to a single perforated drain that i ran approx 100' and surrounded with #57 stone. Similar to a leach field for a septic system. Out of the 5 dogs i currently have, only 1 of them that uses the bathroom inside occasionally so i dont have to spray them out very often. the building i built is only 18' x 12' so it is not a very big building but i still had room in the front to put shelving for hunting equipment. I also insulated the walls and ceiling so it stays rather cool inside on these hot days and the dogs require alot less water. So far i am loving it. I find myself spending more time with the hounds and keeping an eye on their health.

do you guys like raised wood kennels or concrete? Advantages and disadvantages of each, I am getting ready to build one and cant decide.

Thanks
Klay
