Of the thousands of kennels we have built over the years, these 2 are very high on my list of the ones I’m proud of. Hammers were thrown, cuss words were screamed, but eventually we got it figured out! What made these (2) 48”x29”x30” units so trying was the way our customer wanted the doors slide up and go to the top similar to a garage door (see 3rd picture). How we accomplished this was to router a grove for a 3/8” aluminum track to set in. First we tried all thread, then metal round stock to fit in the track to allow the doors to slide back. I didn’t like the way metal on metal felt so we ended up using 3/8” oak dowels and sanded them down just enough to insure the prefect fit. This add on will NOT be cheap in the future. It is VERY time consuming and literally has to be perfect for everything to work properly. Our customer chose Semi Transparent Denim Blue stain for the base, & Honey Maple stain for the tops/floors!
Hope you enjoy!!
