Below; notice the window at back of kennels? All the kennels have the same sliding tin thingy that you can shut at night.

Below: I cut out a 2nd doorway there. None of the kennels have ever had a dog in, have just been sitting there so there's some overgrown weeds creeping onto the cement blocks lol

All they need is a good clean out and they'll be bombproof perfect kennels. I keep one of the troublesome racedogs in the kennel with the door already attached, as he was a kennel wrecker but since moving into his super tough kennel, has been unable to chew wood or wire because there's none in that kennel! ;-) All coolroom panels and a super tough steel door.

Also, I had a farmer guy transport the kennels to my place about 4 mths ago, he used a tractor with a two pronged lift, threw on a chain around the hooks (you can see the hooks at the top of the kennels, that's for this purpose) on the top of the kennel and lifted it up away from the cement block and put the kennel (which has no floor) onto a flatbed truck. Then he used the two pronged lift to lift up the cement block (which has a drainage hole with steel plug, makes for easy cleaning).

I can get some local guys to bring a forklift truck to do the lifting part from my end if required, all that is needed is a long flatbed truck to take the kennels away.


Cheers
