[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1397984, member: 24583"] We built one that works extremely well. Pole barn that is 30x60. Concrete floor. 5x12 pens down each side. 4 foot wide, raised walkway down the middle that is 6 inches higher than the floor in the runs. Petition walls are 2x4 framing with steel "goat panels". Similar to cow panels except the "holes" are 2"x4". Concrete block wall (1) block high down each side. Concrete was formed and poured on a slight slope. (2) dump tanks at the end (1 tank for each side). Depending on how fast you leave the water dripping they dump about every 1-5 hours. Water runs between walkway and block wall, washes out the crap, and empties into a lagoon. Same way we used to have farrowing barns and pig parlor so set up when we used to have hogs. All the dog houses are raised above the floor as are the feeders so nothing obstructs the flow of the water from the tanks. Drinking water is supplied through automatic nipples, again, the same as we used to use in hog barns. It's nice not to have to wash crap every day, but then again, I don't know how many dogs you are looking to house. [/QUOTE]
