I decided today was one of those perfect days to get some stuff done. So I called up one of the guys who works with me on side jobs sometimes and we set out to do some kennel improvements. I started off by just going to put the green barn metal on the roofs of all my kennels but after getting ambitious decided I was going to make my above ground kennels look like a polebarn. So off we went to Lowes and after nearly sliding in the ditch managed to come home with more metal and insulation. With all the metal except, the corner pieces I can say this looks awesome and I should have done it along time ago. I used some of spurs73 ideas and put fold down doors on both sides of the doghouse that way in the hot summer months I can fold it down and help get air flow into the dogs. Also went ahead and made doors in the back of ALL my boxes so it would be easier to change bedding.
I will post some pics as soon as I get the corners on and maybe it will help give someone some ideas. I am starting on a whelping pen this next week complete with a camera, Scotts Whelping Nest, Flooring from FarmTek, hog rail, and am going to wrap it in barn siding. It should be nice. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas many of you have provided.
