I was just wondering what anyone does or would do if they had a chain link kennel that was 12 x 18 and how would they cover the top during winter. Now winter for me is harsh and it can easily snow 2-3 ft a night and i accumulate a lot of snow over time and i am just worried about the dogs packing down the snow and it getting a good enough pack for them to jump out. Just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this.

Man you must live on Donner.

not that bad but pretty bad none the less and i live in westwood ca 5,128ft and it seems like it always snows there.

I would make a tilted wood roof and cover it with metal myself. Plastic would get you buy but metal is nice.

Basicly a pole barn lean to.

portable car garage,150 bucks at canadian tire here in canada.

is the portable garage like something made out of pvc pipe and a tarp, i just moved into a house and i plan on building something more permanent next year but was kinda hopeing i could get by with something cheap and easy this year.

yes pretty much sums it up

Outlaw let me know how that works I have been thinking about what I can use as well when I move the family and hounds up to Chester this winter. I seen last yr they had 23 feet of snow here over the winter. Its going to be a big change from Red Bluff thats for sure.

this might be what your looking for

If you get 2-3 feet of snow at a time. I say ur taking a heck of a risk not putting up a lean to with a metal roof. I live in the snow belt if the Upper Peninsula. It won't take much to collapse a cheap cover.

spray this with pam and you will not have a problem with snow sticking i also spray my sat dish with pam, it is non stick,lol

ive built a lean to style top for mine. i used the pvc plastic first and it only held up for about 3 years. i put shingles on it this year. course if we get 2" of snow its alot. put the plastic just didnt hold up well. i will try and get a pic of my kennel top tonight for you, but i highly recommend using something else besides the plastic for roofing. metal could have been used for just a few dollars more.
