A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
How big of an above-ground run do you want? Here is a photo of one that I built 2 years ago and still in use. It is 4' wide by 10' long, including the 2' box on the end.
Here is a picture of it from the rear. I hinged the roof on the box for easy access to clean out or check in on pups. I also put a removable divider in the box to help keep heat in during winter.
They really look nice. I was dead set on building concrete ground kennels but your setup has changed my mind. About how much would one of them cost to build. I am not a builder so more than likely I will have to have someone do it for me. Thats a great looking set up you have.
what is your email address i can email youj some pics of my above ground pens. i have one for 2 dogs that is 6'x8' with a 2' box on back each pen being 3' wide then i have a 1 dog pen that is 6'x3' with a 2' box on back
Ken, Thanks for the compliment. I would guess that I have about 70 bucks in each kennel. The initial cost was higher but some of the materials went on both kennels, like the roll of welded wire for the fencing. The flooring was the tough thing to find.
