Kennel Construction

I am getting ready to put a new Kennel together. I want add a new building for keeping my ATV, launchers, checkcords, and all other training gear. Off the building I am going to add a dog kennel for my 3 shorthairs.

I plan to use a concrete slab for the floor under the kennels. I am mainly interested in drainage. Has anyone built in a small septic system for their kennel. I am looking for ease of cleanup. Have the floor floated on an angle to promote drainage into a small septic/leech.

Any ideas you have on this are appreciated. Let me know what worked for you, or what you learned setting your kennel up.

Thanks a million.

Bury a 55 gallon plastic drum with seep holes in it, layer medium sized rock around it and add some drainage so seep runs away from drum. Have solids sucked out when they do the septic fir the house as I once did. Moved and havent got this in place again but it sure kept things clean and tidy. I never used rid ex in that tho as the house septic gets.

You can try this, should work just fine and seems to have good instructions. Good Luck
