Full details
The DIY Sheds 10ft x 4ft Dog Kennel and Run is designed for dog owners seeking a permanent, high-quality outdoor enclosure that prioritizes structural integrity and weather resistance. Built from premium FSC-certified Swedish redwood, this structure offers a safe and durable space for your pets, featuring a raised floor and heavy-duty roofing. While it provides excellent longevity and durability, the structure's size and weight mean it requires a solid, level foundation and a two-person team for efficient assembly.

FAQs
Does the kennel come with a floor?
Yes, it includes an 18mm thick solid wood floor raised on bearers.
Is the wood already treated?
Yes, the Swedish redwood is pressure-treated to provide long-lasting protection against rot.
What is the warranty period?
The kennel is backed by a 15-year manufacturer guarantee.
Can I assemble this by myself?
While technically possible for some, we strongly recommend a two-person team due to the weight and size of the timber panels.
Does the kit include the nails and hinges?
Yes, all necessary galvanised ironmongery, hinges, and nails are provided.
What type of base is required?
A solid, level base such as concrete, paving slabs, or a pressure-treated timber frame is required for stability.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly
Verify that the base is perfectly level and that all floor bearers are squared.
Doors are sticking or not closing smoothly
Check if the base has settled unevenly; use shims under the bearers to ensure the structure remains perfectly square.
Signs of moisture on the interior walls
Check the roof felt for damage and ensure the surrounding area has adequate drainage to prevent water pooling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin assembly, choose a flat, level site to ensure the frame sits squarely. A concrete base or slab foundation is ideal for stability. During construction, follow the included manual to attach the framework properly, ensuring all galvanised nails are driven in flush.
Because the timber is pressure-treated, it is well-protected against the elements, but regular care will extend its life further. Apply a high-quality wood preservative or water-repellent stain every 1-2 years to maintain the finish and prevent the timber from drying out. Regularly inspect the bitumen roof felt for any tears or loose sections, especially after severe storms, to ensure the kennel remains watertight.
