I built 2 new insulated doghouses. I really like the design I found on here some time ago. Has a proch and then it goes into the insulated part. The lid lifts up for easy cleaning. I still have to get some cedar shavings for them. My kennel is on a 20 x 12 slab of concrete. I have 3 pens that are 6' x 10' side by side. I bought the roofing material for $60 from some guy. It is heavy guage roofing material. Here are some pics.

Very nice kennel and boxes...

I would put metal L & J trim around the tops, corners & doorways of the boxes to keep the hounds and pups from chewing them up, since they set inside the kennels. I would also paint the inside of the boxes with used motor oil, if it were me...
I would anchor the roof down more than just being attached to the kennel pannels. Some of the flatline winds we have would turn it over or make it into a glider.
Looks really good though...

Mo those are some really nice dog boxes, and I really like how you put the lid on it and the wind break on the inside. That is a really nice job..

Hey Leah.... did you notice in SR's post he's saying use that "used motor oil" to coat the inside of the boxes !! Maybe just rub the oil all over the hound like they usually do and let the dog rub the sides of the dog box !! LOL !!
Nice toxic box for the hounds..... MO, DON'T DO IT !!!
