    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    Quote: That's fine, thanks for your help. I totally understand your thinking, I just feel that would be expecting too much from dogs that are used to having their own space

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    Okay, so I'm thinking I might have it figured out. I have this woven wire that is about 5' tall. The squares on the wire are 4" x 6", but I could use a smaller sized wire to keep the beagles in. So I can use this for the play yard. The dogs will not be in this area unless they are supervised...

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    Quote: I already answered this, but I'll state it again. I have 1 GSD mix dog, about 16 months old and at least 65 pounds. I have a 6-7 month old beagle and a 1 year old beagle. They are each maybe 10 pounds. They all get along, but the two beagles are scared of the GSD (for obvious reasons)...

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    I'm building 2 different ones because one of the dogs is four times bigger than the other two put together. Plus the bigger one is very hyper. They get along, but the big one doesn't know when to quit. So to keep everyone safe, the little girls will be in one, and the big girl will be in another.

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    Quote: Shelley, it's late hun. I'm sure folks will be along to help you. I myself have absolutely no building experience. If I'm understanding your last question right, you'll want at least some area where they have shade at all times. If you can do that without a roof, then you wouldn't...

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    I was thinking of keeping them inside the runs, and only letting them into the exercise yard when they are supervised. The wire I have to make the yard with is only 4' or 5', and I'm sure the GSD could get out if she wanted to. I was thinking of getting like the perimeter electric fencing to put...

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    I'm planning on putting the kennels on the outside of the yard (basically building the yard even with the front of the kennels) so they'd have the full 20x20 area to run in. I was also considering making it 30x30, but I don't know if I have enough materials for that. I'll have to count panels...

    Going to build a dog kennel...what's the best type of floor?

    I'm going to be making dog kennels for my beagle and my GSD mix, along with one of my dad's beagles. What is better for the flooring? Can I just put it on the grass, or is concrete or gravel better? I'm afraid of the GSD digging or climbing out, so I'm thinking grass is not that good. Also...
