Dog Kennels

Post by thunderbirdbat »

Last summer my daughter got a new puppy for us then she got one for herself a few months later. Now that they are nearing adult size, I made a couple of kennels for them. Nothing fancy just pocket holes and screwed together but the kennels allow them their own space and a set of stairs for when they are allowed on the beds. I made a side table version a couple of years ago for my daughter's Australian shepherd. Sorry for the rotated picture. No matter how I rotate them and save on my computer they seem to always be rotated sideways or upside down on the forum. I used pool noodle pieces as bumper so when running into it at night does not hurt as bad.
The top two steps form the kennel.  Back is peg board to allow more air flow.

Not much room between the wall and the kennel but it is large enough for her English cocker spaniel to fit.

IIRC, ALWAYS take pix in landscape position(wider than height).

Optionally use a 'camera' rather than an 'Iphone'. The BB software ignores the 'Iphone' orientation bits.
