How to attach a dog kennel to the ground?
Yes, a dog kennel will soon be built, and I have some thoughts about it. It’s like this: a dog kennel will be built at the back of the house. The ground is gravel and the wall is natural stone, meaning I don't want to drill into it. So I need to anchor the kennel properly in the ground. But how do I do it best/most smoothly?
I'm considering just digging posts into the ground and then attaching the mesh sections to them, should that work? The idea is to use the "regular" 1200x1800mm mesh sections for the kennel. The kennel will not be square either, as there will be quite a few corners since the wall on the house where it will be built has an outer corner.
Or are there easier ways to build it?

I don't know how prone to escaping your dogs are, but I've heard that you should dig a good bit down into the ground and install fencing. All this is to prevent the dog(s) from digging tunnels under the fence and being able to escape.

I also don't understand why you want to anchor it, is it a small dog yard with large dogs? I grew up with spitzes and that kennel stands directly on the ground.
And as usual to answer something other than what the thread creator asked:
It's enough to lay 3-4dm of netting on the ground "horizontally" inside around the walls, before you fill with gravel.
Our dog yard is made of fence sections, approximately 3m sections with two 30mm steel pipes that you drive into the ground. Then you get the real strength when you connect the sections to each other at the corners.
What do your sections look like?
