dog kennel recommendations

[ilovemyheckler]

Can anyone recommend a company who makes, delivers and erects kennels and runs?

I am looking for a timber kennel with a covered run approximately 10' x 6' although I can be flexoble on the size.

 

Quality and customer service as important as price.

 

Thanks

I have used duchie farm kennels before and was very impressed with price and quality mate

I have used Duchy Farm Kennels in the past and they were ok but I have rang and emailed several times recently and my experience was that they were unhelpful and unprofessional, maybe they have had some changes or are just to busy

 

Hence the post to see if there is anyone else

I've had a look about near me in Lancashire and they definitely vary in price and quality, your probably best off having a google of company's up your way.

 

Reading old threads folk seem to think its cheaper to buy one than build your own.

 

Have a search for the old threads they might help you out.

i got mine from www.ultradogkennels.co.uk. It was delivered and put up in no time at all, very easy people to deal with.

Have you thought about mittonhall, or km engineering?

Thanks all.

 

Has anyone got experience of The Kennelstore in Crewe?

I’ve had some panels off them collected as local. They were friendly and helpful. Give them a call.

 

For my original kennels I used duchy and they were fine.

Look locally at shed manufactures, go and have a look at the quality and get them to build you one to your spec. I drew a picture including run with bars and they built it, this way you get what you want, start looking at kennel manufactures and the money seems to rise.

Webb 1982 Duchy were fine for my last kennel but I have called and emailed several times and they can't be bothered to get back to me so I won't be using them again and I certainly wouldn't recommend them. Maybe I have been unlucky?

 

Konnie - I agree with what you say but I want some specific extras that probably only a kennel manufacturer can supply;

 

1. Onduline roofing

2. Full insulated sleeping area

3. Anti chew pop holes

4. Wipe clean flooring

5. Raft base

6. Sliding hatch for pophole

7. Draught screen

8. 5cm spacing for the galvanised bars

I think everything on your list could be covered by Mitton hall, but maybe just call them to check.

Thanks tuck1 I will take a look but I am sure that they don't do timber kennels and I would prefer a timber kennel

[tuck1]

Ah my apologies, I don't think they do.

 

For what it's worth I went from timber to synthetic and, aside from condensation issues I'd be very reluctant to go back to wood now.

 

I hope you find what you need.

 

Cheers
