Materials List
For a 15x10 puppy kennel.
 | leather work gloves (this is not a job for a manicure) |
| wheelbarrow, shovel, mattock, metal rake, small sledge hammer,
screwdriver, linesman's wire-cutting pliers, rubber mallet |
| metal corner braces and screws |
| pressure treated 2x4 lumber
 | 2 ea 16' |
| 2 ea 12' |
|
| 3/8" washed gravel for leveling |
| 10 rebar cut to 18" lengths, skinny rebar works here and is easier to
hand saw if that's your only choice. |
| scrap wood for a scree to smooth gravel |
| concrete pavers (we used concrete blocks that are half as deep as the
kind used for wall construction and laid them flat so our wall is laying
on the ground -- 8"tall, 16" long, 4" deep -- not
half-highs, if you order these, they go back!) But you can use any
concrete block or paver, we like these because they don't break!
They have holes in them for gripping and moving. And they are
cheap. |
| WELDED kennel panels from www.optionsplus.com
| 1 ea Platinum series gate panel |
| 9 ea Platinum or Silver series wall panels |
|
| 10x20 Car canopy or 10x10 kennel canopy to keep the weather off the
puppies |
| Shade tarps for sun protection or privacy depending on the location |
| dog house |
| wading pool |
| water buckets |
