DIY Kennel Decking Build for our Dogs, under $400. Insulated Doghouse from pallet wood.

To secure the bottom of the metal kennel use pipe brackets like the ones electricians use to mount pipe to a wall.

Where did you get your kennel panels? Did it already come with the hole for the dog house?

[@Donathfamilyhomestead]

These come from the tractor supply. There is a precut hole for doghouse that can be removed or affixed with hardware.

Bro, it's not good to have your dogs trample their poop all over their kennels. Their feets will spread the poop all over their dog house. You can add a extra chain link fence connecting to the kennel system so that they have a way to step into the grass to poop or pee.

[@Donathfamilyhomestead]

My dogs are primarily indoors and they have access to an entire acre of fenced in backyard during the day. This is an area they go maybe 2 or 3 hours average daily when my toddler is outside playing. It's also cleaned daily.

[@Ambelica]

I watched the video twice carefully. The only poop I see is like two thirds probably from that morning or afternoon. They are also on a raised pallet which protects their feet and absorbs moister. They also have shelter and water. Completely acceptable kennel area for a few short hours .

[@adamn7516]

Agreed. Even if its for only a few hours a day that is not a good set up. Pee and poop on wood a horrible mix. There is no way to properly keep that clean other than maybe completely sealing the wood on all sides with an epoxy coating. And still the dogs will trample all over it all and ultimately get it all over themselves and bring it into the house.
