Building your own kennel unit is a very feasible project. By constructing one on your own, you can easily incorporate the necessary specifications that your pets need. If you have the tools and armed with the right instructions, you can get started….
A dog kennel can be designed to follow the principles of convenience for you and comfort for your pets. These considerations will guide you to choosing the right materials, layout and design of the kennels.
With convenience in cleaning and maintaining the kennel in mind, you will be able to design the unit that will allow for ease in carrying out sanitation procedures. For example, plastic instead of wood for flooring. Steel is expensive and wood can splinter. Plastic is affordable and easy to maintain and clean. Also allows comfort for your pet.
Concrete may also be used for the base of multi-units, however lining with plastic sheets will allow for a cleaner kennel and easier maintenance, avoiding dealing with the cracks that can form from concrete and cause parasites to fester over time.
You can also customize the kennel to slope for better drainage. You can conveniently hose down dirt from the kennel compartments and not have to wipe or mop them clean. You can eliminate odor or keep it at minimum with more frequent disinfection. The plastic isn’t porous and allows a slick surface to properly remove all feces and dirt.
