need info on how to build a dog pen using chain link fence over a wood frame pictures if possible?

Answer 1

I probably wouldn't use chain link; for the weight factor; but I can't see a need to diagram this. All you really need do is visualize a house in its rough stage of framing. If you know the dimensions you want; just get busy.

Using treated 2 x 4's determine a height x width x length and build the frame. Chain link sold in rolls at farm stores/ fencing companies/ even HD or Lowes is often 4 ft. x 50 ft.. If that won't work for you; then you'll have to find it in 6 ft height.

Using a wooden frame you'll have to use galvanized horse shoe nails perhaps.

Depending on the dimensions you'll have to unclude support beams, both upright and across any roof you might want. If the dogs are jumpers you might have to enclose it anyway. That would also equate if you have any zoning issues regarding animals.

I'd probably go with 2 inch galvanized plumbing pipe, rather than lumber. For one thing it would probably outlast any dog; and perhaps any owner as well. Cut or purchase in the sizes you need; threaded at the ends; adding to that; 90 degree elbows and T junctions for the supporting pipes; then stretch the chain link; using all the usual, appropriate hardware used when putting up a chain link fence. You can allow for a gate somewhere in the plan and purchase one ready made if your budget allows.

Answer 2

Being that you were planning on spaying her, I would go through with it now. What your vet says is right. And yes I've seen dogs mate through chain link...i've also seen a male CLIMB the chain link and get into the kennel with the female. I've also seen a male's face torn to shreds after trying to CHEW his way through a chain link fence. Mating is all males think about when a female is in heat and will stop at NOTHING to get to her...they'll even starve themselves. I would recommend having her spayed to ease your mind and put a stop to all this worrying and the worrying that will take place as her pregnancy progresses.

Wrap the fence around the frame using ties or staples (Staple Gun). Start from the top so that when the dog jumps on it, it won't bow out.
