Got 30 Minutes - Build an Outdoor Dog Kennel

Your dog will love to have a place outdoors where he can race around freely. The choice of where and what substance to put an outdoor dog kennel is based upon your location and space available. Cement, rubberized mats, gravel, bare ground or the backyard lawn are some of the options available. No matter where you choose to place the kennel take into consideration the safety of your pet and the amount of time he will be spending there each day.


The Midwest Portable K-9 Dog Kennels are designed with rounded corners for quick and easy building. If you have a pair of pliers, you are in business, which are all the tools necessary for this project. Even your wife can tell you how to do it! The instructions that come with it are easy to understand and user-friendly. This free-standing designed chain link kennel is sturdy and lightweight. Because of this feature, you will enjoy the ease with which you can reposition the dog kennel, especially, if you are building it on your lawn.

Now, you have constructed the floor and three sides, you will need to install the remaining portion that includes the secure easy-to-latch door. The door latch can be easily managed with one hand for your convenience in handling your dog in and out of the kennel. A woven polyethylene sunscreen roof stretched over the top is the finishing touch and will block 80% of the suns rays. I would highly recommend using the sunscreen roof as pets are subject to heat stroke as well us humans.

Your 30 minutes are up! It is now time to test your outdoor dog kennel. Call Rover and let him explore your masterpiece. While he is in the kennel, you can relax and let him run free without any leashes, ropes are restraints.

This is a good investment for a responsible dog lover who wants to keep his pet safe and away from the dangers of running into the street, coming into contact with poisonous materials, the dog catcher, other dogs, and entanglement in leashes that can cause strangulation.
