I don't agree with that at all. The cost b/t Garners design and a good kennel at TSC is very comparable and you figure in the labor for one and you might as well go get something from TSC. No matter how you treat or paint the wood, it's going to rot eventually and what about his design???? NO TOP???? I thought they'd all jump and climb out??? LOL

Seriously, I wouldn't put a dog in a pen with no roof of some sort, unless I really know the dog. However, if I were going to go with Garners, I would simply get cattle, hog, or sheep panel, 6' tall (that make this you know) and set it up the way I originally said. T Posts, one gate and you got exactly what Garner has.....but no corners, makes it harder to climb out and being 6 feet tall, most won't jump out. If they do......put a roof on it.

And for the record, I dont' want anything like this. All my dogs are on 12' chains and live the good life. I was just sparking convo
