| Building indoor kennels -> need suggestions I am going to build a small indoor kennel for my dogs. Two runs 4 x 7. Nothing fancy, just chain link fencing fastened onto the existing cement garage floor. I'm going to run duct for heating and cooling. My question is does anyone have any ideas how to take care of the sanitation issues. It is in an existing two 1/2 car garage. I don't want to jackhammer the floor and tap the sewer line as it total opposite side of the house from the tap. Too much $$$ and headache. I'm not opposed to bringing in some additional concrete to add a little slope for gravity draining. Has anyone ever seen a self contained system that would drain into a small tank which could be emptied, or anternatively empty into something like the "Doggy Doolie" system that would take care of itself for solid matter. There will be only one dog in the runs that would dump/piss in the runs, as the other would wait for me to break him so the amount would of excrement would be relatively small. My major need would be for drainage when cleaning. If you don't know of any existing systems, how about design suggestions?? BTW, outdoor kennels are out of the question. Thanks in advance.

| Can you run a small channel down the back wall, through the side wall? Then deal with the waste outside? You would have to cut into the bottom of the wall, but wouldn't have to jackhammer the floor. It so happens that our garage (old!) was designed that way.....there's a little hole at the bottom of the wall we use for draining when we wash the floors behind the dogs. Just a thought!! M2 |

Here's a site I found - http://gundoghousedoor.com/kennel.htm Scroll down (about 3/4 down the page),to the area on drainage system info, maybe this will be useful info. Hope it helps a bit! kathy |
