Hey y’all, thank you so much for all the comments and interaction the last few years on this video! We are moving and taking the kennel with us so stay tuned for a major update. We will reveal all the things we did right and all the things we would definitely do differently!
Looks awesome, I built myself one too for my dogs but I’m debating if I should do a concrete slab for the runway or maybe I should do turf.. how do your dogs like concrete and where do they go to the bathroom?
Thanks! We put some straw down on the far end of the concrete runs and they use that for the most part. We keep them cleaned out as much as possible and power wash it occasionally.
I like it. We have 11 deer dogs. Gonna be doing a center block kennel similar to this. Our dog doors will be able tolock from oitside so we can let them out when we want to. And do cleaning etc. This is nice though. I like the fact my neighbors wont be bothered when I feed them. Cause they get to barking and get loud.
How is that retriever brand fencing run from tractor supply holding up? Saw many people saying it only last around 2 years before it rusts out just from the rain and throw in some male dog urin. It looks good though.
We used conduit straps attached to the side of the barn. This works good for small dogs like we have in there but bigger dogs might be able to slide the kennels around.
The paneling on the wall, did you put up drywall then lay this over it or just put this board up on its own. Curious where it’s usually very thin if it’ll hold up or not Great looking kennel. We have a 12x32 as well and it’s a work in progress. Love the drain idea. Will be stealing that along with the tin roof on the inside
We used Rock Solid on the floor. We have a separate video on the floor process. We would look for something else if we did it again just because of the cost of Rock Solid plus it stains really bad. No drainage on the outside other than having the concrete sloped away from the kennel. Thanks for watching!
Hello fellow Corso owner! I raised Corsos for 20 years my old girl is in the video! We used a couple different kinds of insulation. That foam board is amazing tho. Whatever open spots we filled in with spray foam. 5,000 BTU ac set on 5 keeps it cool and a small infrared heater heats it! The ceiling fan help a lot too 😀
Hey boss man how much did this set up cost you if you don’t mind me asking I wanna do something very similar maybe a little smaller I have French Bulldogs and English Bulldogs
Did the company offer a leveling service or put the blocks under it for extra? I ordered a building through a similar place near me and would like it lifted like yours.
I’m starting a similar project. Going with boxes inside vs stalls and a shelter over the runs to keep them dry. The heating is what has me wondering for a 12’x48’ all weather shed. I was thinking a 3 to 5,000 watt would be more than enough. Are you on a septic? Nice work.
Sorry for the late reply! It's been almost 5 years and has held up really well, even with being moved last year. I thought the Rocksolid on the floors was a mistake at first because it stained pretty easily but it's still protecting the wood to this day and actually doesn't look that bad. We did have to replace the Retriever brand kennels because of rust. We went with Master Paws from Menards and they seem to be holding up better. It's being used nonstop and hopefully will for years to come!
Ive got that same pet safe door on my Shed I turned into an office. The covers are pains. I don't recommend them, especially in your situation. I'd put a draw string style door
So many questions, How thick was your cement slab? What are you going to use to heat it in the winter months? And do you have an estimated price cost for the whole build?
6” thick sloped concrete, it is well insulated and 1 oil heater or small infrared works great! All the materials were bought on sale , with rebates, insulation was bought off FB marketplace for $4 a sheet, building is not on payments so definitely buying outright, bought all materials so no mark up from builder, kennels on sale also use the 15% off coupon… saved at least half doing most ourselves
@@gailakard6267 thanks. I just started mine. Unfortunately I half to wait for spring/summer to do my concrete now. I plan on working on the inside this winter. I am using your build as a guide!! I plan on having a second one made right after for a shelter for stray dogs I can take care of and find good homes. Thanks so much!
What about the FRP? I have seen pvc panels used by the company who builds complete kennels like this. Do you think the frp is going to work as well as pvc wall panels?
Quick question, the flooring inside the barn is wood? I see dog run is concrete, im planning to build one so im trying to get as much info as i can. If its wood, what do u use to protect the wood from water etc
@@HoosierOutdoors thanks your the best! I'll have to send you pictures of mine when it's finished. Last thing, what do you recommend I use for the floor.. I know you said in your video you would rather go with something else because of the stains.
@@EXIXISRAP the RockSolid stuff we used has actually held up pretty good. No, it sure doesn’t look like it did when we put it down but it isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to get. I haven’t put much thought into what we would use if we did another one but there has to be a cheaper solution!
Yea the bottoms rust out on them ...I’ve since had to use galvanized square tubing an build my own ...nothing store bought seems to last with everyday use /cleaning
We have 8 retriever kennels that are covered, and they are not gonna last. I’ve had a door rust off the hinges within 2 years, and they’re out of the elements. It sucks, looking for alternatives for when we move to a new location!
Yes, still using the same doors. We thought about using the panels inside but decided the wood/metal walls would be better and we could make them any size we wanted.
Ball park is around $17k. We could have saved money doing more ourselves but we also saved money by buying the insulation 2nd hand so I think it equaled out.
To have just the building built with company we bought a storage building from with the same square footage which doesn’t include doing all the work inside would equal $10,879 just for the building. But not bad considering $28 per square foot.
Is it possible to build the a kennel part outside on concrete only? My back yard has literally no grass, just concrete. I'm wanting to build a chain link kennel so that we can keep the dogs on one side of the back yard area because the other side of the yard has my neighbors dogs that dig under the fence alot. Thanks! And I loved this btw, your dogs are so lucky
You certainly could but you would need a way to attach the kennels to the concrete. Our kennel panels are attached to the building. Thanks for watching!

Wonderful Kennel! I've been looking for kennel ideas and this may be the best Kennel Build video on TH-cam. Congratulations on your build. Thank you!
Thank you!
If I were a dog this is the kennel I'd want to reside in. Its so nice!
Thank you!!
Wat the inside size kenenls
god damn i wish i had the money to get my dogs something like this, beautiful design. cheers from new zealand.
Damn! Looks better than my trailer home. I wish I was your dog.
Looks good Troy. I’ll take one just like it when you get the time
So seal the floor looks great guys been planning something similar love how the wood stable look is
Great job with that construction! Estimated value$?
Looks good. You've got some lucky dogs.
Horse panel. That’s what we use as well. About 85$ per 6’x20x panel here in northern MO. Beautiful kennel !
Yep, those work great! We have a kennel built off our polebarn using 4' x 16' double stacked hog panels that work good for our bigger dogs.
really informative and gives plenty of ideas. Thanks for sharing. Really well done.
Thanks for watching!
This is the best shed to kennel building ok TH-cam without a doubt.
Looks awesome, I built myself one too for my dogs but I’m debating if I should do a concrete slab for the runway or maybe I should do turf.. how do your dogs like concrete and where do they go to the bathroom?

Why won't they be bothered?
Is it sound proof or something?
Hotep Kennels if the dogs are barking inside it is very hard to hear them from the outside.
@@hotepkennels pretty much. You cant hear them the same as if they was just in kennels outside. The neighbor thinks it's cool.
Looks awesome. I have the same project I'm going to do here just not as big.
Dang this doesn’t look cheap at all. You have roofing on the sides of the kennel and that’s kind of a genius move. The drains are as well.
Cost please!🤗 It looks great! Love love the color!.😉
Excellent build! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
How is that retriever brand fencing run from tractor supply holding up? Saw many people saying it only last around 2 years before it rusts out just from the rain and throw in some male dog urin. It looks good though.
We got about 3 years and they were rusted away around the bottoms.
Wow I’m loving the setup Rough estimate how much to build something like that
We've got around $17,000 in it.
TL Bell Definitely worth it I love it you guys did a great job
@@Dowa1985 Thank you!
BEAUTIFUL
Wow this set up is amazing
excellent kennel, comfortable for ❄️ winter
Exactly what I have in mind. How did you attach the retriever boxes to your slab?
We used conduit straps attached to the side of the barn. This works good for small dogs like we have in there but bigger dogs might be able to slide the kennels around.
The paneling on the wall, did you put up drywall then lay this over it or just put this board up on its own. Curious where it’s usually very thin if it’ll hold up or not
Great looking kennel. We have a 12x32 as well and it’s a work in progress. Love the drain idea. Will be stealing that along with the tin roof on the inside
No drywall, just that thick styrofoam insulation in between the studs and then the paneling over that. Good luck with your build!
Hey Whitney did you ever finish your build?
Nice kennel!! Love the inside kennel doors!!
Woah great work!!! Great design!
nice kennel! I wish my back yard was big enough to put one that size
What was the total cost for this building?
Beautiful set-up! What did you use on the floor and do you have a drain system for the outside part?
We used Rock Solid on the floor. We have a separate video on the floor process. We would look for something else if we did it again just because of the cost of Rock Solid plus it stains really bad. No drainage on the outside other than having the concrete sloped away from the kennel. Thanks for watching!
Very nice.. if you press the center of the dog door the sides pop out so you can remove it
Thanks!
Good job 👍🏾
Other than the floor staining did you have any other problems with it? Im thinking maybe a darker color.
Darker color would have probably been better. The stuff is protecting the floor but for the cost there has to be something better out there.
@@HoosierOutdoors I just bought a 12x40 shed today to do just like you did. What type of heater and ac do you use now?
@@allyessary6205 Nice! Ours is insulated really well so all we use is a small window unit for air and an electric space heater for heat.
So that whole building is insulated with just foam board insulation? And it holds heat and a/c ? That’s great looking to do something similar
Yes, it's some really thick foam insulation though. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!
Hello fellow Corso owner! I raised Corsos for 20 years my old girl is in the video! We used a couple different kinds of insulation. That foam board is amazing tho. Whatever open spots we filled in with spray foam. 5,000 BTU ac set on 5 keeps it cool and a small infrared heater heats it! The ceiling fan help a lot too 😀

Best dog set up on TH-cam
how will you keep the floor drain pipes from freezing in winter? How do you eliminate the pores in the wood from disease and rot?
First class set up
Super kennels great job you done
Those are about 8-10,000 $ here in NC....
The building or the whole set up ?
Did the company offer a leveling service or put the blocks under it for extra? I ordered a building through a similar place near me and would like it lifted like yours.
We had to provide the blocks and have them here when the building was delivered.
Hey this is nice I’m definitely doing this for my huskies how wide are the inside stalls ?
All the information is in the video feel free to watch it in full
I’m starting a similar project. Going with boxes inside vs stalls and a shelter over the runs to keep them dry.
The heating is what has me wondering for a 12’x48’ all weather shed. I was thinking a 3 to 5,000 watt would be more than enough.
Are you on a septic?
Nice work.
Amazing build sir
So, I'm planning a boarding business....how has this kennel held up over 4 years? Lessons learned?
Sorry for the late reply! It's been almost 5 years and has held up really well, even with being moved last year. I thought the Rocksolid on the floors was a mistake at first because it stained pretty easily but it's still protecting the wood to this day and actually doesn't look that bad. We did have to replace the Retriever brand kennels because of rust. We went with Master Paws from Menards and they seem to be holding up better. It's being used nonstop and hopefully will for years to come!
@@HoosierOutdoorswhat would you use if you were to do the flooring again? Would a laminate product be better than a coating?
Awesome job. Where does the drain lead to when you hose out the inside AND outside areas?
Looks like it’s been a couple of years how’s it holding up starting my this weekend
How much did this cost? If I may ask.. and do you have like a blueprint ? And a list of everything you got?
We have around $17k in it. No blueprints or lists. We just found good deals here and there to buy our materials.
How much did you spend of this all together? I am opening a bull terrier kennel
Around $17,000
Ive got that same pet safe door on my Shed I turned into an office. The covers are pains. I don't recommend them, especially in your situation. I'd put a draw string style door

The FRP panels have held up great so far.
@@HoosierOutdoors they seem to be working quite well other than the seam in the big dog pen. Had to put up a trim board over the seam.
Nice kennels. The dog doors release by pressing the center to remove and lock on. Our dogs chewed one door off already, so on our second.
Yeah, we figured that out pretty quick. Thanks for watching!
I would spray the wood with something bitter and provide the dogs with bones to chew on this will keep them occupied
We made our own because deer dogs will eat this up in a day. We made the slides oit of aluminum
Quick question, the flooring inside the barn is wood? I see dog run is concrete, im planning to build one so im trying to get as much info as i can. If its wood, what do u use to protect the wood from water etc
What bloodline is the dog at 30 seconds in
Hi,can you kindly sent to me the architecture plan for your kennel pls?!
Me again haha! Things are going good! Just finishing up the insulation. What did you use for the walls? PVC? Where did you get them from? Thanks:)
Glad to hear things are going good! We used FRP panels for the walls and we either got them at Lowes or Menards, can't remember which.
@@HoosierOutdoors thanks your the best! I'll have to send you pictures of mine when it's finished. Last thing, what do you recommend I use for the floor.. I know you said in your video you would rather go with something else because of the stains.

Very nice indeed.
What are the size of the indoor kennels? I'm sorry if I've missed it somewhere in the video
5’x5’
Looks good ...I’ve got 5 retriever kennels they don’t last ..they won’t make it 2 years
Dang, hate to hear that! Should last a lot longer than 2 years for what they cost. Is rust the issue with yours?
Yea the bottoms rust out on them ...I’ve since had to use galvanized square tubing an build my own ...nothing store bought seems to last with everyday use /cleaning
We have 8 retriever kennels that are covered, and they are not gonna last. I’ve had a door rust off the hinges within 2 years, and they’re out of the elements. It sucks, looking for alternatives for when we move to a new location!
What was the price point on something like this
We have around $17K in it. We'll have an update soon as we're getting ready to move the kennel!
What about fence fighting? Or jumping over fence?
Me once again haha, what size of stalls are they? 5x5? I'm trying to figure out what rubber mats to get near me.
Still using those pet safe doors? Why didn't you use the retriever panels inside also?
Yes, still using the same doors. We thought about using the panels inside but decided the wood/metal walls would be better and we could make them any size we wanted.
@@HoosierOutdoors how about the rocksolid floor? That's exactly what we were planning on using.
@@K3MM0N I wouldn’t use it again. It goes about half as far as they say it will and it stains very easily.
@@HoosierOutdoors how is the floor for cleaning? I guess I'll make a video when we're build ours and post it as a response.
This is beautiful. Great job 💕.
How much did it cost in total roughly?
Around $17,000 total.
Nice what kind of dogs are in your kennel??
What you used on the walls is it ok to get wet?
We used FRP panels. They aren't waterproof but water resistant. They've held up great!
What’s the ballpark you think you spent?
Ball park is around $17k. We could have saved money doing more ourselves but we also saved money by buying the insulation 2nd hand so I think it equaled out.
What Stain did you put on the indoor kennels? It's beautiful!
Thanks! It was just a gray tinted stain.
To have just the building built with company we bought a storage building from with the same square footage which doesn’t include doing all the work inside would equal $10,879 just for the building. But not bad considering $28 per square foot.
Expanded metal is what it is good sir
Would this work for my Flemish rabbits with modifications, and a much smaller version?
I want to give them a lot of space
Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work for your bunnies. Thanks for watching!!!
I want to do this same thing. How much was it all in total costs to do this?
We have around $17,000 in it. Thanks for watching!
@@HoosierOutdoors how much was just that shed? Im thinking of building the shed instead of buying it.
@@allyessary6205 It was right around $8k if I remember right.
This was pretty awesome
What would you do differently for the inside floors? Getting my building soon and looking for ideas.
Wow thats an awesome kennel
Thanks! It's worked out pretty good so far.
NICE JOB
Its beautiful man that's perfect wow and you could do it pretty fast and by your self if you had time
What size are the kennels on the inside
5’x5’
What did you use on your floors ? We recently ordered a 12x32
Where does ur waste drainage system go to?
What did you use on the walls
FRP panels
Very nice 👍 well done 👍
Looks good 👍🏼 👌
Did the dogs dog through the floors
Did you insulate the ceiling? Also what tool was used to cut out the doggy doors?
Yes and a saw
How much was the concrete where u live ??
Can we get an update on this?
Do you have the art work of this set up ? Digital mock up.
How much money do u have in it
What breed of dog are you housing?
Whats the Length x Width of each kennel?
The outside kennels are 5x10. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. What about the inside kennels?

Awsome setup
Very Nice
What did you spend all in?
Around $17K
How much does this build cost?
We had about $17k in it at the time. I’m sure it would be in the mid 20’s or more if we were to do it today.
is this soundproof?
No it’s not.
This is very nice👍
Hey! Currently planning a build on a kennel and trying to figure out drainage system! Can I contact you for questions??
That’s pretty nice
