Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of timber is used?

The kennel and run are constructed from premium quality, responsibly sourced Scandinavian timber.

What does 'pressure-treated' mean for the wood?

Pressure-treatment forces preservatives deep into the wood, making it highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect attack, ensuring durability and all-weather protection.

Is the entire structure made of tongue and groove?

Yes, the construction features 12mm pressure-treated shiplap tongue and groove for the walls and roof, providing a strong and weather-resistant build.

How long is the guarantee against rot?

The product comes with a 25-year anti-rot guarantee.

What are the dimensions of the kennel and run?

Dimensions vary depending on the specific model, but the design aims to provide ample space for all breeds and sizes. Please refer to the product listing for exact measurements.

Do I need to treat the wood myself?

The timber is pre-treated for rot resistance. While optional for extra protection, regular pet-safe wood treatments are not required due to the pressure-treatment and anti-rot guarantee.

Can this be used for outdoor exposure year-round?

Yes, the pressure-treated timber and robust construction are designed for all-weather protection and year-round outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Parts missing or damaged during delivery

Contact the retailer immediately with your order details and a description or photo of the missing/damaged parts. Speedy Sheds will arrange for replacements.

Assembly instructions are unclear

Review the instructions slowly, paying attention to diagrams. If still unclear, contact the retailer for clarification or additional guidance.

Uneven placement causing instability

Ensure the kennel is assembled and placed on a completely flat and level surface. Adjust the ground if necessary before final assembly.

Timber showing signs of wear after extended use

While the timber is pressure-treated, inspect for minor wear. Consider applying a pet-safe wood treatment or sealant every few years for extra protection, although this is not essential due to the anti-rot guarantee.
