We mounted our outdoor dog kennel on a cement pad which was treated to reduce cracking. Later we partially enclosed it and added a shingled roof. This gave the dogs more protection from the elements protecting them from the suns heat rays in the summer and the snow fall in the winter. The cement pad kept the dogs nails short so they did not have to be clipped. Being a smooth surface, it also was easy to clean with a water hose. The four corner posts were cemented in making a sturdy structure. By using the cement, the dogs could not dig underneath and get free.
When a chain link outdoor dog kennel is mounted on the ground, the dirt hardens, but they will paw at it, and roll in it keeping their coats dirty. You have most likely noticed a spot where they curl up that is hallowed out and is shaped like a dish. They are harder to keep clean and when it rains you have a mud puddle. If your dog is prone to dig, it won’t be long before he will be on the outside looking in.
