Where to buy large Dog Kennels?

[zekii]

We have a chain link dog kennel run attached to our coop, we installed the spare end side over the top at the far end of the run, but now want to put a cover over the end near the coop to keep out rain/snow & provide some shade.
Like the way georgiagail use the pvc pipe, but do not think that type of support would hold up to snow loads...any comments ? Has anyone here installed a cover, roofing material over a kennel run that sheds rain, snow loads ?
If so post some pictures please.

Check these pictures out of a very large, beautiful coop and run. There are pictures of it covered in snow:

I have a 5 x 10 kennel with 3 pieces of PVC and a tarp. It works well with rain. It held up and kept the snow out of the kennel.

Whenever it snowed I went out in the morning with a broom and knocked it off the tarp. I went inside the kennel and sort of swept the inside of the tarp and the snow slid off.

The most snow we had at once last winter was about 6" of heavy wet snow.

If you look at the top of this pic you can see it.

I used 3 10' pieces of 1/2" PVC. The ends are stuck 2' down the pipes of the kennel. This summer I will add another piece across the top, like a boats keel, to keep the end pieces from pulling to the center.
