We Bought good quality sheds and put our own hatches, heat lamps  etc into them and then bought the kennel panels for the runs,
each kennel is 6 x 4 and and bolt together then the panels come in 2 mtr lengths again bolt together .
Our dogs don't live in tem though , they just go into them if we have visitors or if they are really muddy until they dry off

I did much the  same but used my brick garage - inside runs with a wooden dog shed inside, pop hole to outside runs - weldmesh panels.  These are expensive though so try Heras building site panels instead - second hand ones are a reasonable price. With less dogs now mine are all inside, and my chooks and quail now have their accommodation.

I think our galvanised panels where £46 for the normal panel and  £65 for the panels with the gates
the 6 x 4 sheds where on a winter offer from hodgsons where the stable block came from and they are like new after 25 years so we knew their stuff was quality. They where £200 + vat  each

robinsons sell them. i would imagine the re-selling price for these would be good. i very nearly got these for rearing young pullets/rabbits in the shed, before they were old enough for the outside.
