We build chain link dog kennels and runs to fit the yard you have. On a Saint Paul lot that is often the strip beside the garage or a corner of the back yard near the door. In the suburbs it may be a larger run off the side of the house. Each is built to size, with a gate that latches securely.
Tell us about the dog. A jumper needs height or a top. A digger needs the bottom closed off, with a bottom rail, a buried strip of mesh or a concrete or paver edge. A chewer needs heavier wire. We also think about winter. A gate that swings out over the ground will be blocked by the first heavy snow, so we raise it or hang it to swing over a cleared path, and we leave the kennel a surface that drains when the snow melts.
A kennel is a small structure, but it sits on your lot like any fence, so city rules on height and location apply. Posts are set below frost depth so the gate stays square from one year to the next.
Dog kennels in Saint Paul: common questions
Can a kennel have a roof?
Yes. A chain link top stops climbers and jumpers. A solid cover adds shade and keeps snow out but has to be built to carry snow load.
What is the best floor for a dog run?
Concrete and pavers are easiest to clean and stop digging. Pea gravel drains well. Bare soil turns to mud in the spring thaw.
Can you attach the kennel to my existing fence?
Usually, if the existing fence is solid and on your property. Using it as one wall saves material.
