Home / Products / Dog kennels & runs
Dog kennels and runs built around your dogs.
Give working dogs a sheltered sleeping space and a solid run that stands up to daily use. We build custom metal-framed kennels, gates and runs for farms and home properties, with the layout, floor and access arranged around your dogs and your site.
Concept illustration; details vary by project.
The kennel options
A single kennel, a farm dog bank or a better existing run.
Plan the sleeping area, outdoor space and everyday access together. Doors should work with feeding and cleaning, while the roof, lining and floor suit the location and the dogs using it.
Multi-bay farm kennels
Separate kennel-and-run bays in a shared frame, with dividers, individual doors and access arranged for a team of working dogs.
Freestanding dog runs
Made-to-fit mesh panels and gates for an exercise enclosure or a run beside an existing kennel. Roof and shade provisions can be included in the layout.
Replacement gates and panels
Replace damaged sections or extend an existing run with matching frames, secure latches and openings measured around the current structure.

Questions
Common questions about custom dog kennels and runs.
Can you build for large or strong working dogs?
Yes. Matt builds substantial frames, gates and connections around the dogs that will use them. Tell him their size and habits, including chewing, pushing at gates or climbing, so the mesh, latches and layout suit the job.
Can each dog have a separate sleeping area and run?
Yes. Individual bays can have their own sheltered compartment, gate and feeding access. Send the number of dogs and any that need extra separation so the dividers and sightlines can be arranged properly.
What floor works best for cleaning?
That depends on the ground, drainage and the dogs. We can build over an existing slab or incorporate a raised floor, with removable sections or wash-out access where useful. Send photos of the base and show where cleaning water will go.
Can you add shelter and insulation?
Yes. Roof coverage, a lined sleeping compartment and insulation can be included in the design. Tell Matt where the kennel will stand and which directions get sun, wind and rain so shade, airflow and the entrance position are considered together.
