Just wondering what the best surface is for a dog run ? I have the corner done but was planning to use sharp sand instead of gravel to keep the costs down. is this a good idea ? I have the ground on either side sloping downwards to a central drain also.

Dogs love to dig so if you put sand in the run be prepared for the consequences !! Also would it not get matted in their hair. I have my two guys on concrete with a square of grass about 40' by 40' where they play. It works for us Wink

concrete yes, but not a smooth surface - can go green and slippery or freeze and get slipery. It's quite good if you can put parallel ridges in with a wide toothed rake so that doggy substances run off in the disired direction, and disifectant etc can be swept to where it is supposed to go allong the furrow - ending up in a gutter.
