Not bringing up old threads, especially my own. Wanted to share this deal I got at Lowes.
Fence, dog kennels, prefabbed panels, whatever you call them. They sell a 10x10x6 foot high for 234.00. OK, fair enough, but I needed 1 extra panel to make a 10x20 since I am using the back of my barn as one side of the pen. Cant sell just one panel. They will however sell me a damaged one at half off.
In comes TSC add, same dog pen, 203.68. I bring the add in the Lowes, mention the price difference, they beat the price, gave me the second pen at half off the comped price..........and only 2 panels on the bent one are bent, and one no so much bent. A 2x4 and a bottle jack will straighten them both out fine.
Now I have a second gate panel to put INSIDE the barn, I dont have to build the inside door to his house. There will be a swinging door to his pen similar to the ones you can buy, but it will not cost the 89.00 they want for them.
I also will have 2 panels to put screen wire on to cover my pond this fall.....................
Now I have some grading to do to level out the pen floor and a couple or 3 ton of gravel to get in there.
He will wind up with a 10x20 pen, a 4x10 house with electric, lights, and heat if need be.
Thanks for all your help on this, photos of the days work will be here soon.
