Why buy from us?

Why Buy A Wooden Dog Kennel From Us?

High Grade Tongue & Groove Timber

We build all of our dog kennels and runs, garden buildings and bespoke animal housing from high quality, A-Grade Scandinavian Redwood.  The timber is pressure treated with TanalithE protecting against insect attack, rot and decay for many years.  Because of this, the tanalising process extends the life of your dog kennel and run.

We use ex50mm x ex50mm framework (45mm finished) and 16.5mm x ex125mm (12mm thick finished) tongue and groove shiplap cladding on walls, floors and ceilings to create you a strong structure that will last.  Our tongue and groove has a 10mm rebate to allow expansion and movement in the boards – larger than the majority of our competitors.  Therefore, allowing space for timber expansion which reduces the chance of popped boards.

Bespoke Breeding Kennel

We were very excited when a returning customer requested a bespoke breeding kennel block from us.  The initial phone call enquiry was for a 24ft x 12ft block to have three separate areas that needed to adhere to the new breeding licensing regs.  So we fully lined each 8ft x 12ft section with PVC insulation, along with anti-bacterial phenolic coated flooring to provide a hygienic and easy-clean environment.  Opening windows and 1/3 stable doors were also requested to allow ventilation, and provide added security from potential escapees.  A perfect base for our customer to add in their own whelping boxes and breeding necessities.

• External view of the kennel. Wooden three bay breeding kennel with stable doors, opening window and high quality felt roof.
  



• The 1/3 stable door allows ventilation whilst keeping dogs inside.



• Inside the kennel, we added insulation to keep the area warm in winter and cool in summer. The insulation was then lined with PVC to provide a hygienic, wipe clean surface. The flooring has phenolic coatings which is anti-bacterial and allows easy maintenance.
  



• A fully clad roof using 12mm finished (ex16.5mm) tongue and groove tanalised timber.



• Perspex windows are opened from the inside for added security.



• View from inside looking out. Here you can see the wipe clean flooring, PVC lined insulation and fully clad roof.r>

Full Height Pent Kennel and Run

A returning customer requested a custom build based on our Alton single dog kennel and run – to have dog run panels to two sides of the dog run, a solid wooden back and a full height pent roof.  PVC lined insulation and wipe clean flooring was added to the kennel sleeping area, along with a sliding hatch to the pop hole which was 1ft from the floor.

The total size of the dog kennel was 10ft6in x 5ft.  The dog kennel sleeping area was 4ft x 5ft, and the dog run was 6ft6in x 5ft.

We will be adding this Single dog kennel and run to our standard range of kennels for sale as soon as possible.  In the meantime, if you would like more information or would like to order one for your own garden, please call 01782 821103.

Raised Dog Sleeping Benches

Worried about your dog sleeping on a cold/wet floor in their dog run?  Worry no more!  Our wipe clean and durable raised sleeping benches are the perfect solution to keeping your dog off of the floor.  We use phenolic coated plywood edged in aluminium anti-chew strips for a hard-wearing and antibacterial sleeping bench that is then raised on 45mm framework.  They can go in either the sleeping area or the dog run depending on your requirements and are available in various sizes.

PVC Draught Screens

Provide extra warmth and shelter in your dog’s kennel by adding one of our PVC draught screens to the dog pop hole.  The plastic strips hang down to prevent any winds or draughts from entering the sleeping area of your dog’s kennel and run.  These are especially popular in exposed areas that are subject to bad weather.

Wipe Clean Dog Beds

Our wipe clean dog beds are quality, hard-wearing and comfortable and come in 2 sizes to choose from.  The green-coloured cover is made from tough yet smooth surface feel canvas with a waterproof backing, which allows mud and hair to fall off or be brushed off when dry.  The dog beds are foam-filled, adding support and superior comfort for your dog(s).  The foam is long lasting, holding its shape with no dips or bumps appearing.  Ideal for use in our dog kennels, we have hand-picked these dog beds as they will fit perfectly in the sleeping area of your kennel.  Easy to clean by wiping down and washing off with warm water.

Kennel Bowls & Holders

Probably the most popular accessory for your dog kennel run is our brand new to the market dog kennel bowls and holders.  The dog bowl holders are of superior quality compared with cheaper alternatives, and fix onto either bar or mesh dog run panels.  The bowls lift straight out from the holder, making mealtimes easy for you with minimal fuss – no un-clipping awkward clasps while frantically trying not to spill any leftovers!  You can even purchase extra bowls for a one-in, one-out regime.  To put the cherry on top – these bowls have been designed by a keen dog trainer and are British made!

Double Hampton Dog Kennel and Run

Our wooden outdoor Double Hampton Dog Kennel and Run was installed to a prominent country estate in Newbury.  The setting was stunning and made the job much more enjoyable for us!

Our customer opted for the Onduline kennel roofing upgrade, which is a corrugated bitumen based roof covering that provides extra protection from the outdoor weather and also has a longer life span than standard kennel felt.  The dog kennel sleeping areas were insulated then lined with 2mm PVC sheets which provides an easy clean kennel surface.  The kennel was also upgraded to have our anti-bacterial wipe-clean Phenolic coated flooring.  The dog runs were separated by a galvanised dog run panel which allows them to be kept apart whilst still being able to see each other for company.  Our customer also requested two of our wipe clean raised dog beds to go inside each of the dog kennel runs.  These are made from our Phenolic coated kennel flooring so are wipe clean and anti-bacterial, and we add aluminium anti-chew around the edges to prevent the dogs chewing on them.

A perfect kennel solution for keeping your dogs outdoors.
