[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7780695, member: 4505"] Whatever size you decide on, leave the run exposed to the weather, facing south, smooth concrete with a slope to one side with a channel down one side to a drain that goes to a decent disposal point (mine go into the domestic septic tank which probably isn't legal but works). Facing to where the dog can see some activity will aid mental health. Make sure there is a covered lying area with a warm draught free sleeping area. I don't favour wood which is cold when wet but some form of insulation material (expanded polystyrene/kingspan/etc) with a skim of 25mm cement over the top for the sleeping area works. Gates should open inwards, hinged furtherest from the wall. Being a surveyor and pushing a room for over 60 years tends to concentrate the mind!;) [/QUOTE]
