Use plastic or metal 55 gal drums. Build a frame around it with 1" angle iron. Make it about a foot off the ground, put plywood on top, cut half the lid off one end then fill it with hay.

You can make a above ground kennel. Just use 2x2s with spaces and set it to desired height. I have not done it but I have seen several versions.

Oh I gotchya. I'm finishing up a roof over my kennels right now actually.
How big are your kennels and what did you use for your corner posts?
