Yard setups

fun thread...lets keep em comming...

I use heavy duty O rings on the axles and D rings from fall protection setups on all my setups no quick links, bull snaps or small O rings all solid connections with cold chucks that i tack weld after pressed. I learned the hard headed way in my early years keeping bulldogs i lost more then a few because of quick licks, bull snaps and wore out O rings.

All my chains are 10ft takes up yard space but i feel that these hounds would die to please me so i can give them a desent area to live.

When i started the yard area was thick with large trees and under growth i put alot of hours into cleaning out the area. I spread crushed rock on the spots about twice a year its cuts down the dust when its dry and the mud when its wet and makes waste clean up easy. I use blue barrels for the hard keepers who like to chew the wood houses.

Its not Rebal Kennels or Bulldog Barn :lol:

Above ground 10X10 kennel on a 11X11 treated and sealed wood platform i strap the kennel to the platform with 1" PVC pipe straps so it can't be moved.

Now this brood box isn't pretty but it is built to withstand bulldogs and last it will be around for awhile. It is insulated with built in heat lamp and fan both controlled by dimmer switches and a double pane plexiglass viewing window on the side so i can keep and eye on but not disturb a whelping gyp.

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing.

I believe they are 55 gallons. That's what I use.

This is a chain link kennel from TSC reinforced from the inside with 14 gauge welded deer wire. Barrel house with cedar shavings and 12x12 red concrete pavers for the flooring. Kennel was $280, deer fencing was $35, and stones were 1.30 a piece x 100 makes the flooring $130. We like the Magnum kennels but this is literally half the price and if we want to get a double gate panel to make this 10x10 two 10x5s it'll cost us 165 instead of 360.

I set up a spring pole inside the kennel, its kinda jimmy rigged right now until I go get a bigger spring and longer rope toy. Notice the nice hard turd in the kennel from their raw diet.

This is the dog septic tank which is also visible in the first pick. This is our first experience with the septic tank but all the videos on you tube say its great. I still have four more kennels to set and am going to place stone lined paths to all of them so updated pics will be posted with progress.

Nice set up ! I will give you one more suggestion if you have already put your roof on ! make sure you anchor your kennel to the flooring some how..A good strong wind from a thunderstorm and that thing will flip on you and you will have a loose dog on your yard...Been there and done that years ago !
