The post is the main support structure for our Commercial Dog Kennels. Using this post, you can attach panels or gates to create the kennel layout of your choice! Pre-drilled holes on all four sides allow you to attach panels to any side of the post for an endless array of layout options!
Posts elimate the trip-hazard commonly found in kennels built by other manufacturers
We opted to use posts to support the corners of our kennels in order to avoid the hazardous bar that most other kennel manufacturers have below their front gates. We can eliminate this bar because your existing floor acts as the horizontal spacer that keeps the side panels the correct distance apart when the posts are anchored in place. This makes it much safer and easier to get into and out of the kennel. It is also easier to clean the front of the kennel - which is where all of the action takes place!
We supply concrete anchors to anchor the post to your floor. We highly recommend you anchor the posts that are supporting the gates. This will keep the dogs from pushing the kennels around and it will help keep the gates lined up for proper latch function.
The corner post also act as a convenient place to hang other equipment
Our posts have holes drilled in all four sides - which gives you some extra opportunities to hang other equipment you might need for the kennel! One example is a leash-hook to stow away the collars, leashes, etc that you remove from the dogs before putting them in the kennel. The post is also a great place to attach the buisiness-end of the rope or cable you are using to activate your guillotine doors!
This post can act as any corner. Each side of the post has an attach-point for panels or gates so you can bolt in any direction and even add on to the kennels later!

Love the Kennels!
There's so many great things about the kennels. The overall look of course, the packaging was very clear and easy to read, the paw print to guide up or down is great and looks cute even after installation.
The area that we had the hardest time with was the installation. It's hard to find a room that has 100% straight walls and floor. So after drilling in the footings multiple times we had to cut them out. My husband, brother and sons worked on it for 3 very full days. We could not install them. It was one step forward, 2 steps back.
In the end we found it was best to assemble a side wall and then attach it to the back wall assembled, before drilling the footing into the concrete. The only tricky part was then putting the cover over the footing. But after each one was done we would take the wall off, slide the footing cover down and then reattach, so very slow process. If there was a way that the covers could snap over the footings after it would be easier. I'm not sure if this makes sense or not. It's harder to explain in text.
But overall the kennels are creating quite a buzz.
