Okay, so I’ve been planning this for a while, and today was the day I finally kicked off my project of building a dog kennel with a run. I’ve got a couple of active pups, and they really need their own space to romp around without tearing up my entire backyard.
First things first, I gathered all my materials. I went with pressure-treated lumber for the frame because it’s supposed to hold up pretty well against the elements. I also picked up some sturdy wire mesh for the walls and a corrugated metal sheet for the roof. Tools-wise, I made sure my circular saw was ready, along with my drill, measuring tape, and level. Safety glasses and gloves? Check and check.
I started by laying out the foundation. I decided on a decent size, about 8×10 feet for the run and an attached 4×8 feet kennel area. I measured it all out, using some stakes and string to mark the perimeter. Once I was satisfied with the layout, I dug out some shallow trenches for the foundation. I decided to set some concrete blocks at the corners and along the sides to give it a solid base.
Next up was building the frame. This was honestly the most time-consuming part. I cut the lumber to size and started assembling the walls. I made sure to double-check my measurements frequently because one wrong cut, and you’re really starting all over again. After putting together the frame for the run, I started on the kennel section. It is important to ensure that there is a certain distance between the kennel and the run to ensure the health of the dogs. I also saw some data on the Internet about the top 10 kennels. Although I didn’t understand it very well, I still used this as a reference.
After the framing, I attached the wire mesh. I used heavy-duty staples and made sure to pull the mesh taut to prevent any sagging. This part was a bit tricky because the mesh kept wanting to roll back up, but I eventually got it secured. For the kennel area, I used solid wood panels for three sides, leaving one open to connect to the run. I also added a little door for easy access.
- The most popular dog breeds are selected based on registration statistics from previous years.
- The Labrador Retriever, once the most popular dog breed, has been relegated to second place.
- When building a kennel, it is necessary to understand the relevant knowledge about dog breeds and choose the right one.
The final step was the roof. I built a simple sloped frame and attached the corrugated metal sheet on top. I made sure there was enough overhang to provide shade and keep the rain out. I secured it all with screws, and voila, the main structure was done!
Some details need to be improved
Now, it’s not completely finished. I still need to add some finishing touches, like a proper latch for the door and maybe a wooden floor for the kennel area. I also want to paint it to give it a nicer look and add some extra protection against the weather. And of course, I’ll need to get some cozy bedding and toys for my dogs. I referred to the American Kennel Club’s guidelines to choose the right dog, which was really helpful.
All in all, it was a pretty big project, but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out. It’s satisfying to build something with your own hands, and I know my dogs are going to love their new space. Plus, my backyard might finally get a chance to recover!
