This is the best flooring you can use for aboveground kennels in my opinion. easy on the hounds feet. Lasts forever.

Looks great! What is it?

How big are the openings? The picture may be deceiving, but the openings dont look big enough to allow good poop fall-thru.....

The flooring panels are 2'x3'. The openings for the waste to fall thru are 1"x 1.5" and can be made bigger up to 1"x6" by snipping out the little webbing between the holes. about 90% of the waste falls thru. If anyone is inesterested in this product please email me. I am a dealer for this poly flooring and also have the plans for the kennels. I have sold alot of this stuff and everybody loves it. Not a single person has said they didn't like it. I designed these kennels specifically for the flooring. The dogbox has a tin galvinized roof and there is insulation all the way around top, bottom, And sides. My email is woodland@newnorth.net or call 1-715-892-0027 cell

I believe this stuff is called poultry grating. I was at a bird dog kennel that had a bunch of runs on this stuff and I was very impressed by it.

What does it cost?

Posted: **Thu Apr 21, 2005 10:14 am**

The panels are 13.95 plus shipping and handling.

My guesss is BSM slats http://www.bsmagri.com/Products/Poultry ... slats.html
I have there HOG slats ... http://www.bsmagri.com/Products/Hog/Flo ... slats.html

Before you order from the website ...BSM Agri is Canadian....shipping from Canada can be expensive especially if you are only getting a couple pieces... Believe me I got mine directly from them...You will probably get a beeter price on shipping from dealers in the US. I got 14 peices of 2X4 hog slats with 8 galvanized cross beams. Cost me close to $200 for shipping. I built a single suspended platform for all my dogs with a seperate area for waste. My dogs hunt as a pack therefore why not live as one. The waste does not fall easily thru the hog slat openings. The holes look alot bigger on the poultry. If the poultry is anything like the hog ...its really nice and heavy duty

expanded metal, you can buy it for about 18$ a sheet. heavy duty and not hard on dogs feet

I purchased this material for kennel floors two years ago it is hands down the best I have used or seen. This should make wire or steel floors obsolete Kurt

How does this stuff handle the real cold weather (0-10 degrees)? Does is buckle up?

Great question Rob, I live in the northern part of WI right near the U.P. of MI. Our temps get down into the -40 below in the winter, and high 80s in the summer. I have this flooring in all of my kennels and i have not had any problems with it. I have had them on for 5 years and they still look brand new. I have 9 hounds and even raised pups on the flooring they all do fine. Being a dealer for the midwest area i can get better shipping rates. Hopefully they wont raise the fees because of the gas prices. But i think they will?
