hi have a metal shed with full electrics would i be able to put a run onto it and make it into a kennel my aunties going to sort the electrics out so the dogs wont be able to reach them do you think this is a good idea

thanks

if a dog has a good enough sized run, and heating and nice nice and comfortable there is no reason why a dog shouldent be kenneld outside, and this is from a person who hates kenneld dogs, but like i say done propperly a dog can be very happy, just make sure they get a lot of attention as some people get them and leave them outsidexxx

my dog wouldnt be left outside outside overnight just during the day while i couldnt leave her out during the night thanks mummysaz21

sounds like it may be a little cold being a metal shed, I'd get something around the walls to keep her/him warm, and make sure that when it rains the water doesn't fill the shed up! basically needs to be raised off the ground.

my aunties insulating it for me and it is raised off the ground we tested it yesterday with all the bad weather we had and not a drop went in so we was pleased

The biggest concern with metal sheds or containers is the weather impact. In the cold they're freezing and in the heat they're like an oven.

is there anything i could do to try and avoid this plus it is in a area of my garden were it it well shaded so the sun will not be directly on it
thanks
