Title: K9 KONDO DOG HOUSES

Some lab folks hang the barrels from chains off the side of the kennel and some build very simple legs for the barrels. I've seen pictures of those kits. Never seen anyone who's actually used one.

Just be mindful of where you get your barrel. I got one at Pautzke's once. Didn't use that one. Didn't think about the after effects of brining fish eggs....smelly.. The ones from the Welch's grape juice plant smelled good though...

Post by: Happy Gilmore on January 14, 2013, 08:48:43 PM: Most places that have any type of food production have them on hand. I think I paid $5 for one from Welch's once. Might check with Twin City Foods see if they have a few?
