Product Information

Full details

The DIY Sheds 14ft x 4ft Dog Kennel and Run is designed for dog owners seeking a robust, weather-resistant outdoor housing solution that prioritizes animal security and structural integrity. Featuring high-quality FSC-certified Swedish red-wood and a heavy-duty roofing system, this kennel is ideal for those requiring a permanent, high-quality structure for their pets; however, due to its size and weight, it requires a dedicated, level foundation and assembly by at least two capable individuals.

FAQs

Does this kennel contain any particle board or OSB?

No, the structure is built entirely from solid Swedish red-wood timber.

What type of foundation is required?

A flat, level foundation such as concrete, paving slabs, or a sturdy timber frame base is necessary.

How long is the manufacturer guarantee?

The kennel comes with a 15-year manufacturer guarantee.

Is the wood already treated?

Yes, it is constructed from premium pressure-treated timber to protect against rot and decay.

How many people are needed for assembly?

Due to the size and weight of the panels, we recommend at least two people for a safe and efficient assembly.

Can I paint or stain the wood?

Yes, you can apply a wood stain or paint to the exterior to match your garden aesthetic, provided you use products suitable for external timber.

Troubleshooting

Doors are sticking or not closing flush

Ensure the base is perfectly level; if the base has settled, use shims to re-level the corners of the kennel.

Visible gaps between shiplap boards

Natural timber will expand and contract with humidity; if gaps persist, check that the frame is square and fasteners are tight.

Roof felt looks loose or is lifting

Re-secure loose areas using heavy-duty felt nails and ensure the overlapping joints are sealed with bitumen adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your kennel, follow these instructions for setup and maintenance:

  1. Base Preparation: Place the structure on a solid, level surface such as a concrete pad or a set of paving slabs to prevent sagging.
  2. Assembly: The unit is delivered flat-packed. Use the provided instructions and ensure you have a partner to assist with lifting the panels.
  3. Treatment: While the wood is pressure-treated, applying an annual water-repellent wood preservative will help maintain its appearance and further extend its lifespan.
  4. Inspection: Periodically check the mineral felt roof for tears or damage, particularly after major storms, and inspect the galvanised hardware for signs of wear.
