Looks like a good start, I would have gone a little higher to make cleaning crap out from under easy.

I'm putting my kennel on 6 by 6 runners where I can pull it around it should work good. We have the same design for my home made hay rings and you can drag them any where .

That flooring is the best thing since slice bread.I hardley ever have to spray it out poo fall right thru.(JMO)if you put thoams water seal on it it will give you even more life.Even when i did not have the money to go with all treated i would use reagular wood and seal it ever year.Does real well,nice looking kennel.
