By any measure, dogs are some of the most loving, most loyal beings on the planet. The tagline “man’s best friend” didn’t come about in a vacuum. If you’ve had the pleasure of owning a dog or dogs, then you already know that a dog accepts you and loves you unconditionally, even when many humans or other creatures can’t or won’t.
But if you own more than a single dog or two, you’ve probably also come to understand that you can’t keep them all inside. Whether you own multiple pets, keep hunting dogs, are a dog breeder, or work with a dog rescue group, you need an outdoor dog kennel. And that’s where Carport Central can come alongside to provide exactly what you need.

See My RatesDon’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:
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.
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.
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.
As we mentioned above, Carport Central is happy to deliver and install your custom-designed metal dog kennel at NO extra cost with the building purchase.
