Cheapest way to build a dog kennel?

Brent

looking to build an outside dog cage, kennel type deal...I was thinking either 24x40. that's about 480 dollars in osb plywood. Looking for something a little cheaper. It needs to block wind and everything. Anyone know of any good ideas. don't worry about size i can go as small as like 24x24 or something the other size is just ideal. It doesn't need a roof just 3 sides. I have 1 of the 24' sides. Thank you.

Answer
The cheapest way to build a dog kennel is with welded wire, 2x4's & tarp. Anything more than that & it's going to cost you at least a few hundred.

Edit: But I agree you should just buy some chain link fencing or some welded wire & 2x4's to make a run with a dog house like structure added to it.

dog destoying a wire kennel??

so my dog tears up things when we leave, so she goes in the kennel(wire kennel, from petsmart) the thing is when i get back i notice that she has BENT the wire at the bottom (where it opens out) trying to get out and when we leave we can hear her throwing a fit barking and whining and sometimes it sounds like shes geting aggressive, i dont come back in and say anything because i dont want it to worsen, but shes literally destroying the wire at the bottom of the cage, what do i do??
i spent alot of $ on the cage figuring she couldnt do this,
really Im scared she going to get the wire bent just enough to get her head out and then shell get stuck and hurt herself
yes she has plenty of room to move around and only goes in when we go somewhere
toys, food she has everything she needs in there

Answer
Try these:

1) Feed her in the crate

2) Use a kong with a treat when you leave her

3) Start leaving her for short periods.

4) Google seperation anxiety and learn about it.

5) Stand next to her crated, and if she whines or gets anxious- correct her.

6) Leave a radio or TV on for her.

7) Try these after a walk or exercise when she's more likely to be calm.

I did rescue for a while and crate trained some difficult dogs- but none was impossible.

Good Luck!!!
