WOW! A canine palace!
My first lab was an evil chewer and dug like a backhoe, could climb tall buildings in a heartbeat. We built our own kennels 6' tall and both runs 6' wide x 16' long with chain link "lids" on each side and center partition. I formed up 6" outside the chain link and swapped out with a customer in the concrete business. Went dove hunting on opening day and returned to a beautiful concrete slab with the posts and chain link cast into the concrete (he had a pour near me, had the crew there to finish, just bought a couple extra yards of concrete). This has served us well, dogs secure when we're gone to work, etc. After "Thistle" turned my first doghouse into a slum (she ate it), I built 3 aluminum doghouses. Still have them 39 years later. Has kept generations of dogs safe.
About a year ago had some posts rusting out so I poured a 6" curb all around with wash out holes in the rear enclosing the bottom of the posts and wire. Figure I'm good on kennels as long as I live here!
