Kathy McKienzie Webboard User Reg: 05-04-2004 Posts: 24 Loc: Offline	I am trying to build a nice set of kennels on a budget. I want to extend them off of my existing 4 stall horse barn with 3 on each side of the 14 ft aisle way. My horse stalls are 12x12 so I am thinking of 3 8x12 kennels on each side. If I was rich I would just extend my barn roof but that is not an option at this time so I am going to need seperate roofing over the kennels. I am in Florida. Does anyone have any suggestions, do's and/or don'ts for building in our climate? (ie wood vs steel framed, wire vs chain link... gages etc) I really don't want to do chain link because I have a dog who can get through it. Thanks in advance. Kathy

If you have a problem with a dog being able to escape, tell you fence maker you want what is referred to as "double knuckle". Using DK fence and tacking down each knuckle the dog will not be able to escape from it. DFrost Any behavior that is reinforced is more likely to occur again.

Being in Florida, why couldn't you grow some sort of vines over the top to block the sun. They would create a nice, cool spot for the dog. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks
