FAQs
What type of timber is used?
The kennel and run is constructed from high-quality, pressure-treated tongue and groove timber.
Is the product suitable for all dog sizes?
It is designed to accommodate dogs of all sizes, with the 8 x 6ft dimensions providing ample space for medium to large breeds.
How is the product delivered?
The product is delivered kerb side on a pallet.
Does it require assembly?
Yes, the product requires assembly. All necessary fittings and instructions are included.
How do I maintain the timber?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Applying a pet-safe wood treatment or stain annually will help protect the timber and maintain its appearance.
What is the benefit of the pent roof design?
The pent roof design ensures efficient water run-off, helping to keep the interior of the kennel and run dry.
Can I leave my dog in the run unsupervised?
The run is designed to be secure. However, supervision is always recommended, especially if your dog is prone to digging or has known escape behaviours.
Troubleshooting
Unit feels unstable after assembly.
Ensure the unit is placed on a perfectly level surface. Double-check that all frame components and fittings are securely tightened.
Water pooling inside the run or kennel.
Verify the pent roof is installed correctly to allow for water run-off. Check that the ground where the unit is placed is not prone to waterlogging and has adequate drainage.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly.
Loosely tighten screws initially to allow for minor adjustments. Ensure panels are correctly oriented according to the instructions before fully tightening.
Timber shows signs of weathering sooner than expected.
Ensure the timber was properly treated upon arrival. Apply a pet-safe wood preservative annually, especially in harsh climates, to protect against UV rays and moisture.
