    thats about $800usd.
    try your local welding shop, they should be able to make something like that to suit your needs

    Yes, Options Plus here in the U.S. has them.

    However, I wouldn't bother spending my money on a kenel like that. I bought several like the ones you pictured & they were as worthless as two pinches of owl dung. I bought several & they've all been chewed through. I wrote Options Plus & complained after the first time one of my dogs chewed out of ones that you pictured in less than 5 minutes. Options Plus kindly sent me a new "heavy duty" one for free, but they chewed holes in that too. In short, they destroyed both products. It just took longer to destroy the heavy duty one.

    I would go with the super heavy duty brown powder coated welded ones you can get at Tractor Supply. They're about $500-$600 & they're so sturdy no dog can chew holes in it.

    Hope this helps.

    I can't tell from the pics of those are the right ones or not. The ones I've seen were brown, not grey in color & the welded wire is thick.

    I have three powder coated ones from Tractor Supply and they aren't exactly as strong as they are advertised. For normal dogs, these are great but for destructive/hard keepers these are not the best. The welds are not strong enough and my dog have actually busted the paneling away from the support beams in many spots.

    Your best bet is to pay a couple more dollars and order them from Priefert. I ordered my tops from them and they are of the highest quality and alot stronger.

    Good Luck.

    I have one Priefert kennel it is nice but I do not like the way they connect that much, nor do I like the powder coating - galvanized is better.

    In my opinion these are the absolute best kennels

    I have them in both galvanized and powder coated. After about 7 years some of the powder coated ones are starting to rust, but the galvanized are as good as new. They are expensive. Tractor supply has a pretty good price on them, around $660 for the powder coated ones. I got mine years ago on sale for like $400.

    We must not have been looking at the same ones. The ones I saw I laid my hands on. They were 10 x 10 x 6, were brown in color with very good welds & very thick wire. The ones I saw a dog would bust their teeth on before they broke the welds or bent the wire. But I saw these a few years ago, TS may not carry them any more. If I could have, I would have bought a whole boat load of them. But instead I went with Options Plus & regretted it ever since.
