I was planning on getting the Platinum from Options Plus, but not if its rusting like you guys say.

I did find this today. It's made of aluminum sections and probably attractive enough for any HOA.

The one you posted is powder coated as well. All I know is that these things hold up 100x better than the stupid chain link I started with.

Hi Anne, they sell good galvinized spray paint now, sand down the spots that look bad and spray them and your good to go, the key is it must be shaken really good, we use it alot at certain jobs,

Hey Al, give me a break.....I'd have to spray the entire kennel !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Take a drive down here & take a look at it...it is serious rust. Strong as anything...would hold a tiger..which is why I purchased it in the first place. I wanted a safe structure in which to keep my dogs besides just the fencing around the yard. It just looks crappy. I would be afraid to paint it...just in case one of the dogs decided to chew...which Zasha will sometimes do if she is in there when I am working Blitz. And you know what a crazy girl she is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It does sound like Angela's kennel is a little bit better than mine...maybe they found a better way to cure it so it doesn't rust as badly as the one of 2 years ago. I just know that I wouldn't spend the almost $1000 that they are charging now for one that may still have the tendency to rust up. Mine was almost $600 2 years ago almost to the day.

looks like the galvanized is the best way to go. i am still waiting on the company from the UK to let me know what shipping will cost. Has anyone made a kennel with hog wire panels?

Thanks a lot, ironically I have relatives in Vero beach and Ft. Pierce and have never thought to have them check around for me. We take a trip there at least once a year. I will definitely contact this company.

Mike,

I like the thought of a canopy type of fence. Or other types of systems that keep them from approaching the fence.

Has anyone seen a picture of such a fence? I didn't see any on the links? I'll could Google it and report back.

there is a site out there with with wolf hybrids. search wolf hybrid conatinmeent on google. they use a piece of fence that leans inward 45 degrees at the top of the fence. the dog can not climb over this, however it is not the prettiest.

here is the link to the 45 degree kennel top extension. ugly but it is effective
