Dog kennels for sale – popular options
- Residential dog kennel : There’s no universal definition, but a residential dog kennel is a type of specialized outdoor storage shed that’s usually designed for housing one or two dogs. These are smaller units which fit perfectly in almost any backyard.
- Commercial dog kennel : If you’re looking to provide housing for more than two dogs, a commercial dog kennel is the perfect solution. A commercial model is great if you keep several dogs yourself, and is also ideal for dog breeders, dog trainers, doggy daycares, pet vacation facilities, veterinarians and related animal clinics, and animal rescue groups.
- Custom dog kennel : Many prefab dog kennels on the market come from the provider as-is. But with a custom dog kennel from the metal building pros at Carport Central, all the details of your shelter are up to you. Need a smaller, personalized kennel fabricated for just a few dogs? We can do that. Looking for large dog kennels that can accommodate lots of animals? We can deliver and install a custom dog kennel to suit whatever building specs you have in mind!
Benefits of choosing a metal dog kennel
Don’t settle for some poorly-constructed, little wooden shed. Your dogs deserve better, and you can give it to them with a custom prefab metal building. What’s better about a steel structure? Lots of things, like:
- Structural strength – A steel dog kennel simply won’t rot as a wooden shelter will. And galvanized steel isn’t just impervious to moisture. Pound for pound, steel tubing is the strongest commercially available framing material. And a steel structure will stand the tests of time, weathering, and regular canine usage much better than any stick build.
- Easier to clean – Speaking of dogs, they can make a mess in a hurry. But that’s a problem with an all-steel kennel. Just hose it off, hose it out, let it dry, and you’re ready to rehouse those dogs in a clean shelter.
- All-weather protection – Since your kennel dogs will likely be housed outdoors for most or all of the year, you really need an all-season dog kennel. Steel framing and paneling provide superior protection from most anything nature has to throw at you, including sun, rain, snow, wind, hail, and even lightning and earth tremors.
- Pest- & fire-resistant – Termites and other pests can be a real threat to wood. Mold and mildew can accelerate wood deterioration, and they can be unhealthy for your animals as well. But termites, rodents, and other pests are no threat to steel, and steel is also a poor host for mold and mildew growth. Steel is more fire-resistant too, since it’s naturally incombustible.
- The price is right – You may think that a steel structure would be more expensive than a wooden structure, but think again. It’s actually more cost-effective to build with light-gauge steel, and the bigger your building, the more you can save!
- Delivery & installation included with purchase – Not only is the price right for a custom steel dog kennel from Carport Central, but when you buy from us, we’ll also include delivery and installation of your building at no extra charge. Plus, we serve 46 US states – we’ve got you covered!
Completely customizable dog kennels
Another great reason to choose a metal dog kennel is that it’s completely customizable. You have complete freedom in deciding every detail of your metal building.
How wide does your kennel need to be? You can go all the way up to 70’, or much wider if that’s what you need. You choose the building height too, and there’s really no limit when it comes to potential building length.
What about steel gauges? 14-gauge is the industry standard for framing, but you can upgrade to 12-gauge for an even sturdier building. And as far as the roofing and side paneling goes, you’ve got gauge options there, too.
And speaking of paneling, you can fully enclose your kennel, partially enclose it, or go with a roof-only shelter. It’s really up to you.
The colors are also for you to decide. Carport Central currently offers 17 popular color choices for roof paneling, side paneling, and trim. You can also opt for a tasteful two-tone wainscot look for the sides if you prefer.
But what about the building foundation? You can install it on a poured foundation like concrete or asphalt, but you aren’t limited to that. We can also anchor your dog kennel to a gravel surface or to plain level ground.
Many local building codes require metal structures to be certified for minimum wind and snow loads. Carport Central can certify your building to meet any required standards. And even if certification isn’t required in your area, we still recommend choosing the greater peace of mind that comes with owning a certified structure.
You can insulate your dog’s kennel, too.
If your area gets frigid in the winter, your dogs will appreciate it if you decide to insulate your kennel. Many assume that a stick-built kennel would maintain temperatures better, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Since steel tube framing is so compact, there’s actually more available wall cavity space for filling with insulation. That being the case, a steel-built kennel can actually be even more energy efficient with the proper insulating strategy.
In addition, applying an appropriate amount of insulation can also cut down on noise pollution, both internal and external. More insulation means less threat of your neighbors being bothered by the sound of your barking dogs, and it also means there will be less external noise pollution to potentially stimulate and upset your dogs, as well.
Metal dog kennel prices
So, how much will a metal dog kennel cost? The answer will depend upon several key factors, starting with the final building dimensions (width, length, and height) you decide upon. The customization options you choose for your building will help to determine its price, as well.
How much of your dog kennel you decide to enclose will also play a role in pricing, as will other customization decisions like steel frame gauge, steel paneling gauge, and any optional trim, gables, doors, windows, or wind and snow certification requirements.
But in any case, the good news is that a metal dog kennel from Carport Central is still one of the most cost-effective solutions you can choose. If it’s important to you to get the most bang for your dog’s kennel buck, a steel structure is really the best way to go.
