latice for kennel floor?

[jlboomer]

just curious has anyone tried the latice with the square hoes that are about 2" x 2" its privacy lattice but not as small of holes as the regular privacy lattice i think this would work better giving the crap bigger holes to go through do you think the beagles would get used to walkin on it. thanks for the advice im going to be building some new kennels ill post pics on here and put together some plans if anyones interested. my budget for this prodject is $150 a lot i think i can do it for much less 4' x 8' runs 4' high and 4' off the ground.

It works But I didn't like it

I used the 2x2 square holes it worked but the dogs feet would fall through on ocasion but they eventually learned how to walk on it. Poop fell trough just fine. My lattice floor only lasted 2-3 weeks because my dogs like to chew so the started chewing and chewing at it and guess what they chewed right threw it. It also sagged so it needs support which I didn't like. So I now replaced the flooring with 2x2 square rails for decks that are spaced 2 inches apart exactly half of the pen is floored with the rail and the other half is floored with solid wood. They poop where the railing is and if falls right threw it like it never touched it. THey can walk on it with no problems. I would stay away from lattice flooring. If you would like to see pics let me know.
