Thread: Chain link dog kennel

Mtn.Wonderer was clearing out some unwanted materials from his yard at the time and had almost enough chainlink fencing to go around the 20x30 area, I had to purchase something like 12' more to finish. Very thankful for the materials Mtn.Wonderer.
I just dug 4x4 fence post into the ground every eight feet or so and cemented them in place.
Ran 2x6 across the bottoms, and 2x4 across the tops, then used fencing staples to attach the chainlink to the wooden structure.

It worked great for when she was a puppy, nowadays she's so good I rarely have to use it for her, but does come in handy from time to time.
Had to add some 2'x1' patio slabs around the inside of the fence perimeter to help prevent her from digging under the fence when she was a puppy.

OK I think this picture business is figured out somewhat
Anyhow it's a general idea of what I had done, just before the siding on the dog house was up and the house re-roofed and painted.

My kennels have been made of 9 ga. chainlink. In the last thirty years I have not had a dog escape or get a foot caught or any such. I am not saying it cannot happen but it has not happened to me so far. When i assemble the panels I have the cut ends next to the ground. The dogs do not challenge them more than once... or twice if they are really dumb. For puppies,I put boards(1 X6) down around the bottom just in case, but remove them once the pups are older.

I have had a few dogs that tried to gnaw their way out when they were left behind, and aside from some silver back teeth there were no ill effects...certainly the wire showed no signs of the attempts.

I have no doubt that 11 1/2 or lighter chainlink might not fare so well, but the 9 ga. wire really does hold up. The other thing is that if you use 9 ga wire, the fabricator must use the thicker wall tubing as well, so the whole assembly is heavier duty.

Currently, some of my kennel panels are around 20 years old and doing just fine. The oldest of the panels(nearly 30 years old) were getting rusted and nasty and have been converted into roof sections for the intact females.

I do agree if price is no object, that the Priefert product is very much top of the line. However, with any metal fencing, you are well advised to place an inert barrier(plastic) between the ground or the cement and the metal legs to delay and to minimize the inevitable rustout. It will add literally years to the life of the kennel panel.

For my round tube legs I use a female/female schedule 40 fitting to pick the end up off the ground about an inch or so. That allows any rain to drain out and any urine or wet from washing down the concrete, to drain and dry out. Obviously, if metal is dry it won't rust. I also touch up any spots I see, about once a year, with rust converter and then a coating of spray on cold zinc or aluminum paint.
