Jo Harker Webboard User Reg: 10-24-2008 Posts: 921 Loc: Indiana Offline	Lucy gets her kennel either Thursday or Saturday, depending on when I can get someone with a truck to pick up the panels. Just wondering if you all who have kennels have suggestions or tips on anchors, which direction to place the roof (tarp), etc...etc. The only bad things I have heard about these kennels with the A roof w/tarp is they tend to fall over during wind shears so to anchor them. I don't want to drill and rebar them, but I also don't want it flying away to Kansas or New York or Canada... (Don't stone me but we always used dog box, chain, and/or perimeter training, so kennels are new to me.) I do have my picks for the sidings...but that will have to wait until this fall when I have more money. Look! I DO fit in the bag.

MeganMcCallister Webboard User Reg: 08-08-2006 Posts: 182 Loc: WV Offline	Regarding tops, I don't know what kind exactly you have but mine ended up dry rotting and then blew off in a big wind storm. I didn't realize the top was as bad as it was. The top was made specifically to fit the kennels I have, which included the metal tubing and the tarp. I also didn't like that the plastic tarp seemed to cook in the heat. I have concrete kennel floors, so I like when the rain is able to wash them. (Even though they are cleaned daily.) I've ordered a sun top for mine. It'll provide shade, but still let water come through.

MeganMcCallister Webboard User Reg: 08-08-2006 Posts: 182 Loc: WV Offline	The new top will be stetched and attached (not sure how it will be attached that's Scott's job) accross the kennels. Here's a link to the old tops please check your URL bbcode syntax!!! http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_36089_-1______14540|14596|36089?listingPage=true&Special=false . The new top will be attached to the old top framework. The pic isn't that good, but it should give you an idea. This is the type of material I've ordered: please check your URL bbcode syntax!!! http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_48984_-1______14540|14596|48984?listingPage=true&Special=false I've never used it before, but we'll see how it goes. It couldn't be worse than the plastic tarps .

Jo Harker Webboard User Reg: 10-24-2008 Posts: 921 Loc: Indiana Offline	The second one was the one I was thinking of flat on top. But you are going to put it over the OLD top framework? Anyway, I've heard those tops are very nice. Look! I DO fit in the bag.
