Depending on how wide the kennels are, I'd prolly use 3/4" for more stability and the price difference from 1/2" isn't that much. I had a 1/2" PVC frame and tarp over the run the first year as shade/shelter for the dogs, and the first little bit of snow collapsed it. You might also check out PVC electrical conduit. It's gray, so it would blend better with your kennels, although you CAN use spray paint for plastic to color the white PVC
When you get ready to buy your PVC, pay attention to the wall thickness. It comes in Sched 40 and Sched 80 (80 being thicker = stronger) but it also affects the fittings you need.
You can also get some ideas here: http://www.pvcplans.com/ I'm not real crazy about their poultry pens, but you could prolly easily adapt the greenhouse plan to your kennels.
This site http://www.pvcworkshop.com/freePVCplans.htm has a TON of ideas for EVERYTHING, so you'd have to just scan thru all of them, but kewl ideas if you have the time.

My kennels are 7' X 12'. Gray is a good idea. Anything that makes it look like something I did on purpose is good. I'll check out the site. Thank you.

I have been hearing from some of you about the spread of illness among the horses and the quarantines put in place. I thought this was an interesting way to deal with having to leave your horses at home!

Makes me glad that we only show for fun. Now the benefit rodeo is all but cancled and everyone is bummed out about that. The Thunderbird rodeo is a charity event put on for the North west burn Foundation, and Coreys day on the farm. Its a major bummer as both charities are wonderfull and will be short on funding this season do to the equine quarentine efforts... Each charity would have been given anywhere from $10,000 - $20,000 over this season...
