I have found that those flexible cable style gun safety locks work perfectly for securing the gate latches. Not only does it keep the dog from opening the latches, it keeps neighbors from being able to open the gate easily as well.

They sell those roof support clamps at Lowes....8 and a couple sticks of top rail and you can fix it right

Love the new puppy. That cage will be excellent for your property. 🤠

Pea gravel works great on top of wire and keeps them cleaner/ allows drainage ect.

Craigslist is a good place to keep an eye out for the heavy duty, old school dog kennels that don't rust. We got some huge ones that are indestructible, really cheap. You will have to construct something for the roof but thats an easy fix. They clean up easily with a pressure washer.
We have used them for big dogs, turkey pens, our pigs when they were babies, all kinds of stuff lol.

For my dog pen the fencing would eventually wear a hole in the tarp covering. To prevent this, I took pool noodles and split them. I then placed them between the top rails and tarp. I enjoy all your videos. Enjoy your Lab puppy. I used to have a couple of wonderful yellow Labs.

Oh My I am so excited for you to have your little puppy! I saw a photo of him and he is THE cutest!

Use 2-4" pvc pipe filled with pea gravel concrete. add a #3 rebar.

Hi, Andrew! It won’t be long before you will have your puppy. I am excited for you.

If you make triangle tarps to cover the ends of the kennel it will increase the shade created dramatically. The can sew the tarp with any sewing machine and use grommet kit to attached grommets for zip ties or bungees to go around the pipe. I would have it be roughly the same length to match the over hang on the roof tarp. This way you still get a good breeze.

I like the puppy he’s gonna be a good sidekick for you .

I bought that same kennel off amazon, the only issue I've really had with it is the dog dug under the edge within the first week and escaped, so i built a raised floor with free wooden pallets. I just filled in the gaps on the pallets with scrap wood and shortened a few of the pallets so i could cover the entire interior area of the kennel. Then i bought some artificial grass from local hardware store and stapled it to the top of the wooden pallets, so the floor is actually comfortable for him to lay on. Then i put a small dog house in the corner along with a outdoor rated dog bed inside for him to lay on if he wants. The nice part about the raised floor is he cant escape anymore, its easy to clean with the waterhose and keeps him from getting all muddy when outside in the kennel. Friend of mine bought the same kennel also after i got mine, but instead of a pallet wood floor, he poured a cement pad to the interior dimensions of the kennel sloped, so it cant have standing water or urine on it, but his dog never walks on the cement during the day due to it getting to hot from the sun vs my setup, so it lives in the dog house during the day in the shade.

Andrew your puppy will be living in 5th Av. enjoying his digs. As always, great video.🙏

[Tripring]

That’s a nice kennel. You might want to get 4 more poles & clamps to reinforce the roof truss and get a roll of some light fencing and cover the roof with it to give the tarp some support when it rains.

[chevyvantravel]

thank you for this vid. i saw another video where they installed a wood roof, they just got rid of the tarp and it actually looked ok.

[jeremiahs]

Nice kennel for the money. I even turn the carriage bolts with the smooth head side on the inside so the dogs are not touching the end of the bolt. My ocd there 😊

[brucesumner]

Labs love to dig..they are professionals. Only thing I've found to stop them is concrete, and it made it much easier to clean the pen and manitain. Good luck, beautiful pup.

If you want extra support for the roof just go to your local Lowe's or home Depot or Menards and buy a piece of straight pipe that's meant for chain link fence in the same size and just buy some more of those connectors you can add as many as you want. And when it comes to the chain link tensioning hooks just bend the hook over the little metal rod so that way it can't slide out

[jodywooldridge]
