Thought it about time my lot had somewhere they could just laze about on the floor for a while each day,with Alannah and myself.So i took the mad notion of sorting this load of old timber out.Cant wait to see it finished now,as Christmas is only around the corner.Will be great to have somewhere that i can spend a few quality hours with the pups too,as they need a bit of basic training now.

Still a bit to go,but one half of the roof went on today,and should be completed tomorrow.

yes i think you need a hard standing base to keep it from rot

The two blocks of kennels that i have,one is on a hard standing with four runs and the other is on slabs. :thumbsup:

The base,which is made of 4x2n1/2 inch timber,is sitting on treated timber slats,which are on top of a 4 inch bedding of 3/4 gravel.The gravel is down on top of hardfill,mostly,but there is good enough drainage..Was going to put down a concrete base,but there are pipes running under the shed,which can still be got at if necessary.Rest of roof went on today,so it should get a good chance to dry out now.As for long tailed fellows.Think the 30 odd cats,that live next door should sort any problems that may arise.Costing an arm n a leg this shed is.But it would cost a hell of a lot more to buy.All in,around £600.To buy,around £1.000+.Next door neighbour just bought a shed that would fit in mine more than twice.Cost them £700.Am now thinking of lifting all those safety tiles,that you can see in the 1st pic.Have 60 of them,at 1 meter sqare each.Power washed,they come up like new.To buy new,over £40 +VAT,each.Would buy some nice new decking,with what id get for them.
