I have a 10x10 kennel split in half for my two dogs. I am moving it in a couple of weeks. I am pouring a new concrete slab and wanted to put a couple of 55 gallon drums in the ground for septic tanks. Is this going to be good enough for the 2 dogs? Any websites I can go to to get info on how to make the septic tank? Thanks Craig.

interesting idea....would they be upright or cut and on their sides??

i think it would get kinda smelly and flies would live it

excuse my ignorance but i read the website on how to build the septic tank and dont know whether to put the top on the garbage can or leave it open.

my kennel is 40 feet long and is split up into 8 5x10 kennels.We have sections at the back of the kennel that is about 1 to 2 inches below the cement and there is a drain in the little section with cement poured around it.We have 4 55 gallon drums in the ground behind the pen and behind the dog houses.One set of four pens drains connect together and go into 2 of the drums.And the other set of four do the same.All the drums have holes drilled into then and the waste goes into a pit beside the drums.Each drum also has a pipe running out of it into the pit beside it.The pit is down way lower than the drums so it has alot of room for waste.the drums are about 3-4 feet below the ground maybe a little lower and are covered up.Just thought i would let ya know how ours is built.I will try to get pics of our kennel.Jacob Prince
