After it rained all night on my dogs I decided to take the day off work and finish the indoor kennel. The weather man says a cold front is on it’s way and tomorrow night the temperatures will plunge into the 30′s. To create the indoor dog kennel we had to frame up a 2″ x 6″ X 6′ interior wall partition complete with top and bottom plates. The wall measures exactly six feet tall which perfectly fits 2 – 36″ metal roofing panels stacked vertically. My father-in-law donated the metal roofing which was surplus from his carport project. After we framed the wall we installed the metal which was a battle with 40 mile per hour wind gusts whipping through the barn. I had an extra 5′ X 6′ chain link gate that we placed on one end of the enclosure. The new indoor kennel portion measures 12 X 28 feet and provides some shelter from the cold and rain. Next week I will finish their insulated dog houses. So far I have spent less than $500 on the entire dog kennel, including concrete and chain link. The dog houses will be constructed completely from scraps that I scavenged at a nearby home construction site.
