Ah, here we go again - memories - Helen's words below reflect my own
situation pretty much!
Indeed the years mentioned and all are so similar it got to me as I read the
post! However, the
length of mine weren't quite 20 Feet. I'd noticed in visiting many folks
that the dogs just don't
make a straight 20 foot at a time run, unless there's something at the end
of same. Generally,
they'll just ease back and forth with each other. Oh, -- something that, to
me, was important
Most kennels are 4 ft. wide, not mine as I didn't want tails banging against
the sides so they
were 5 ft. wide. TNX for sharing. as usual --- Norma no L

I am redoing most of my runs in concrete (all but 2 for youngsters).
Anyway, what is the best pitch to put in the concrete for drainage? Also
could those with concrete runs please let me in on anything I should know
before diving into this big project.
************************************************************
I had a 3 inch high cement curbing between each run,so no running water
between runs . My slope from kennel exit opening into run down to the end
of the
20 ft run was a four inch gradually drop. I had cement gutter at the end of
all 12 runs I had the cement work done all at one time . The curbing
enclosed
the bottom of the posts and bottom of chain link fencing that separated
the runs I had them finished with a slightly rough finish ,so no slipping
and
sliding. Very secure Lasted for 40 yrs,until I closed my kennel 8 yrs ago
