SD, so are those the more "plastic" like ones ive seen at HD & lowes vs the regular tin?

Yes, they are the heavy plastic ones. They flex but do not break. You can find them in Lowe's or HD or perhaps any other large home improvement store. Most likely they will be right near where they sell the tin roof material.Originally Posted by CRISIS

Roofing.
The whole idea of a pen is shelter ... and so if there's no 'shelter' from the elements, then all you've provided is a cage ...
That's exactly how I look at it. I try to think of everything I can do to keep them safe from the elements due to the extreme weather we can get here. I wouldn't want to be out there baking in the sun or freezing in sub zero temps.

Yes. But don't forget chains are no option here.
I always have and and had roofs on my kennels and its not like they go outside of their doghouses when it rains. Its just when I arrive or when they have to take a shit or drink.
In the summer they could benefit from no roofing.
Hadn't thought of that. But don't most plastic blocks UV?
I already have the closed plates and the fences.
These smoke colored poly sheets may have the anti-UV layer added as a special coating for better weather resistance. I'm not sure about that. That would be a good question for the manufacturer. But it would be another plus if it did block the harmful UV rays and just let visible light pass through.

Isnt UV needed for vitamine D or am i saying something stupid. Its nice for dogs to enjoy the warmth of the sun sure.
UV rays are both helpful and harmful. UV rays are needed to help humans and animals produce vitamin D, but overexposure is what you want to avoid. I have had pups out in my kennels and haven't had any problems with their growth that you would see if you kept pups inside and away from the sun.

We decided to build a few of these. Going to put metal decking over top just haven't decided how to attach yet. Do not want to compromise the kennel panels with screw holes.
We have made feet out of plate and one size smaller pipe that will attach to the deck and the panel pipe will slide over. That way no dog can scoot the kennel off the deck and escape. What is also cool about how these turned out is the height the pipe sits up off the deck leaves just enough room to use a rake or pooper scooper to remove waste. That wasn't planned!
