Ok guys I know there are many kennel reccomanations threads and yes I have looked at all of them but I have a question. I have 3 pits 1 male 2 females I want to make a run and have them seperated in their own runs. When my wife and I go to work I feel guilty leaving them in their kennels in the garage. I would like to build my own run for them so they can atleast get up move around stretch the old legs out. I really like the below pictures I got from a thread on here and I plan on using this as a staple in what I want to do but longer do accommodate 3 dogs and Also splitting it to seperate the dogs. These wouldn't be there houses as thy are always inside with me at night just a holding area while we are at work. My questions are as follows
1. What "floor" should I use rocks, mulch, hay, sand??
2. what should I use to seperate them, should I allow them to see each other, or would just a simple chain do the trick and just seperate the male from the second female who isn't fixed when she goes into heat.
3. Would corgatted roofing material be good for the roof?
4. Should I enclose it so they are limited on what they can see or should I just leave it open
Thanks for any help
Here are the pics

THATS spendy .. use cement.. its cheaper.. and with stall matts its the BEST choice. NOW other than that.. use gravel use a 1 in for about 2in all over then get you some good 3/4 crush and put that in spray it all down and put in more crush until solid and cement like.. That is the cheapest and should hold up.. BE SURE to put goat wire 1 by 2 in sq mesh wire over the tops. My smallest dogs can get out the tallest kennels. Get you good way to lock the gates when your gone from the premises.
