Here is one we built about a month ago. They are worth there weight in gold.

 

nice pin what you got for flooring is that plastic?

 

The pen cost me around $600 total, which is not so bad to me. At least I know when I put a dog in it they wont climb, dig or tear out. The black is a poly kennel flooring, I put it in so the dogs would us that area for a bathroom instead of the wooden part and so far thats what they do. The next one I build I may do a step by step diagram and material list.

Ive got 3 they come i handy for sick or hurt dogs and bitches in heat.

 

PurePit- you ever have problems w/ that hardware cloth? i use that in my chickens brooders, but i wouldnt trust anything short of goat panels when it comes to the dogs.
if those dogs wanted out, it would take very little time and very little effort

 

Here's one i made this year.

 

hat tip to you sir, thats a quality pen.

 

Rally, the holes are to small for them to bite it. No problems so far and onyx is a big escape artist. I trust my pens more than a chain setup and I have one of those too.

 

THANKS ALOT NAUSTROMS I LIKE THE PolyMax Kennel Flooring
THAT SLAUGTHERHOUSE USED IN HIS PEN. IM GONNA SWITCH 3/4 OF THE FLOORING TO THE POLYMAX FLOORING.

 

Thanx for that i checked around for flooring for a kennel and that is the cheapest and looks to be the best

 

purepit you going to loose a dog with that wire on you pen . these dogs can eat through just about anything . they eat #9 wire all the time . you pens look great but you need stronger wire . goat or hog panels is best . but if they want out they can get out of that to . but aleast it is stronger .

 

biting the holes is not the problem- although believe me- they can do it-i have first hand knowledge. the bigger problem, and what i was refering to is the way they are ~attached~ . if they pawed hard enough they could rip that right off the frame, as it looks like its simplt tacked on the outer edge. you might try a strip over the cloth around all edges.
i will try take get some pics of what i mean- my dome pens are build a similar way
