My boy is a Golden Labrador, 2 years old now. We have a lot of space in the backyard and I was thinking about building a kennel for him. A kennel designed like a mini house with rooms. I've got the plan ready. I'm planning to construct the kennel out of aluminum. But, a friend told me that aluminum sheets can induct heat making the kennel so warm. I need some advice. Does it become too warm? Is there any way to make it cooler? |

IMO, the walls can be metal, but the roof should be wood or other non-temperature conducting material. |

Okay, I want the use of wood to be minimum. I have decided to build the roof and internal structure of the kennel out of metal. I contacted with a metal fabrication service here and they have agreed to it. We will use wood for walls and floors and use good insulation. |

Any metal is too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer unless you insulate the interior. It's better to use wood or plastic. |
