Home Built Dog Kennel For Sale (2024 Update)

C'est une super belle niche. Grande et elle rend super bien, comme sur la photo. Livrée très rapidement. Toutefois les explications pour monter le toit ne sont pas super claires. Faut bien observer avant de se lancer. Et monter le toit seul ce n'est pas évident. C'est le seul bémol. Très contente de cet achat.Ver33910

Product was very easy to assemble. Looks clean and contemporary. The front two doors don't close quite right with the latch though. Our dog doesn't attempt to get out, but if your dog does, this would not be a good product for you. We have received so many compliments on its appearance though!Carrie

Easy to assemble and doesn’t look cheap. Our dog took to it immediately. The doors in front and on the side are convenient.MamaT3

Easy to assemble and configure the way we need it set up. Love it!! It fits in wonderfully in our living room and gives our pets a space of their own.SaltwaterTaffy

We have tried many Kennels/Crates for our dog, she suffers from Anxiety and nothing has kept her as safe as this kennel. Any metal kennel, regardless of how indestructible it has advertised to be, we have come home to a scraped up bleeding dog that is out in the house and destroying things. She is a pitbull and she chews through anything. The kennels that are plastic with the metal grates on the side she chews on the door and breaks the metal on the sides and at this point has ruined her teeth. We have put her in the Ruff Land Performance kennel twice, once for two hours, great success and once for an entire day. She was calmer, and no blood or destruction to the crate. Wish I had seen this crate 9 years ago. Another feature we like is that it has a flat floor, rather than one that is either metal grating or has a few round circles protruding to allow stacking of kennels. We are amazed and so thankful to have this crate. I would recommend this crate to any dog owner. I can't say enough good about it.Diana B

I purchased this kennel about a month ago for a new pup. As a young dog in the back seat of the truck with two full grown Retreivers, I wanted to ensure she was safe and secure. The kennel is made of top notch materials, fits nicely on the back seat and is tied down to the child seat anchors. Best of all, this is the first travel kennel I've ever owned that the door doesn't rattle. Over a long day of travel, it makes a big difference. Well done, Ruffland.Mark 390

We tried the reinforced wire crates with no success. If he could get out, he would. The next step was possibly getting those ultra reinforced crates that cost almost a thousand dollars and almost require financing. This has been the perfect compromise. It’s sturdy and durable. It obviously has a little weight to it, but it’s definitely manageable. Hands down if something happens to this crate that isn’t caused by our dog, I’ll buy it again and again.Jennahboo92

Truly a nice furniture kennel. Bought it without reviews, so took a chance. One of the containers was destroyed in shipment, but it’s packed with styrofoam all around so no damage! The locking mechanism seems sturdy. The bars seem sturdy. The boards are strong. The instructions are pictures, but easy to follow along with. My dogs are well behaved in kennel, so not sure how it will stand up with one who’s not. Overall, I’d recommend it!MML

very sturdy and amazing. My dog loves the kennel and it's a great stand for other things along with the cubbys to hold remote or books.Amber

i actually bought this for my 4 year old Sulcata. I added insulation and a heat lamp. It does have a floor, but for my use I also added shredded coconut and hay. It worked out perfectly when nights were too cold and also held up in the rainy summer. No leaks and stood up to strong winds. Also easily assembled by 1 person. My tortoise loves it and I imagine dogs would too.Ruby01

This product came in an oversized box, easy to move around, wasn't to heavy, parts were plastic and wrapped individually, easy to remove from the box and each items was well packaged. The instructions are easy to readMARY

I was so excited about getting this doghouse until I started to put this thing together. One of the worst things I have ever had to put together in my life. The walls would not click, nothing would click and hold together. There were no screw holes to screw the screw into. It is extremely flimsy. I would rather spend $200 at Petco for an igloo doghouse which was very sturdy than this.schug

Perfect for what we were needing. Less expensive for the same quality product found at competitors stores. Lost a star for lack of instructions and simply dropped off unboxed and leaned against the front of our house. Overall satisfied with our purchase.Ordinary shopper

Would have given this 5 stars but there were no assembly instructions with the kennel, but youtube video very helpful. Also, latch is easily opened by smart dogs, needed additional strap to secure.Chloedog2017

I purchased this 10' by 10' kennel intending to use it as a catio for my 2 cats, so they can spend time in my yard so I don't have to worry about them getting out of the yard and disappearing, but I got some chickens so now it's going to serve as their winter run, the rest of the time they'll be free ranging in the yard. Th kennels came in a large crate delivered to my yard. It took me a few days to getting around to opening it. I noticed most of the thin plastic covers were missing or broken off, and a few of the screws were missing the washer. I searched for the instruction manual for the kennel but that was missing, so I had to check online for assembly instructions. After watching a video on YouTube, I assembled the kennel on my own, but couldn't figure out how to attach the gate latch. Eventually I figure it out, but can't get it to attached without it wriggling around the bar that is attached to. There no way to lock the kennel securely with the wobbly latch. A few days later I decided to attach the roof and cover, so I opened the box and found the instructions for that, which are incredibly simplistic and not as helpful as they could have been if it had included actual written instructions instead of small sketches that barely give you an idea on how the pieces connect together. The tubing for the roof need to attach to the kennel but no where does it say how or if you have to remove the plastic caps that come inserted into the top of the tubes. I'm assuming that those plastic caps must come off so that the tubing for the roof can get attached. Not many minutes into me trying to assemble the roof tubing when I realized that 2 of the 3 tubes that are go on one side and connect to the other side of the roof tubing have the screw hole drill wrong, instead of on the bottom, the hole was drilled on top, so when connected to the tubing that go on the other side, which have the hole drilled on the bottom, they can't be connected. If I connected one side of the tubing can be connected to the kennel's tubing, while the other side of the roof tubing can't because they face up. So the only way I'll be able to install the roof and cover is to buy or borrow a drill and drill new holes on the correct spot of those tubes. So until I can get a drill the kennel will remain uncovered. The issues with this kennel and roof/cover show the company has very poor quality control issues with this product. For such an expensive product I expected better quality and assembly instructions. I am not a happy customer.Soniafm1027

terrible! did not last 16 hrs literally . my puppy was able to chew thru it in no time at all . maybe it's my fault I should have just went with metal and not something nicer looking . I was under the impression this wasn't just wood and would sustain some scratching nibbling but as soon as I put it together I knew it was a mistake (screwing some of sides in by hand and being able to see it just is cheap) for it being this expensive I would expect better quality!Brian

DO NOT BUY FOR A PUPPY!!!! These are so beautiful, I bought two for both my Boston Terriers. My 7 year old loves it, he didn't mind at all. My puppy was in it for literally 5 mins, he broke the piece of wood in the front and busted out. AGAIN, DO NOT BUY FOR A PUPPY!!!!Danielle

There are a few things you need to know about this product before purchasing… 1. It says it can fit a 18-50lb dog in here, but I disagree. It’s a little smaller than I was expecting, so I say a 30lb MAX could fit in here depending on the dog. 2. There is NO bottom piece, ONLY a plastic tray. I was expecting a bottom piece under the plastic tray, but I understand that it is for easy cleanup reasons. Overall, I gave this a 3 out of 5 stars because I’m not as happy with it as I could’ve been. Hopefully it holds up and lasts, we’ll see.Joanne

Absolutely Horrible! It looks very nice, went together very easy. The gauge of the chain link wire is so soft that I can easily bend it by hand. Then, there are ALUMINUM ties that connect the bottom of the chain link to the pipes. The aluminum tires are softer than solder material!! My well mannered, smaller size dogs were able to get out within 10 minutes of building it and ruined the chain link!Megan K.

Kennel was delivered to my house. I could see the wire in some places already coming undone. Was hoping to use this kennel for my large dogs but looks like it'll only hold up to chickens or small dogs.Dog Lady

"I bought 7 4 x 10 kennels and love them! Very well built and easy to put up!!!! We train labs for gun dogs and hunt test at Otter Creek Retrievers and wouldn't buy any other brand! Hopefully we are going to purchase 4 more this spring to add to our runs!!!"Ryan W.

These are great kennels. My dogs have not been able to get out, infact they seem very comfortable and safe inside. It's been a couple months now and there is no sign of wear or rust. The dip galvanized panels don’t seem like they're going to be damaged anytime soon.Louise E.

Got this for a large dog to recover from surgery. Not as strong as a large welded wire portable kennel. It does allow more room to stretch out than the large portable kennel. If your animal needs room to move around, this may be a good kennel. Not super sturdy. Walls will moved out since they are connected with brackets (two each panel). May not be escape proof. No attached floor. Fitted tarp cover is nice. There are no cheap kennels out there. This one was priced okay and shipped free to my door. It was packaged well.CheapTX Guy

This is an extremely sturdy kennel and of high quality. Very easy to assemble. I assembled it myself and completely finished it took me about an hour and a half. The only downside is this kennel doesn't come with anchors that go in the ground to give it that extra firm support, however it doesn't appear to need it, as the kennel is extremely sturdy without them. Highly recommend!Tyler

My chabrador (chow-labrador mix) has plenty of space to turn around and lay down in this kennel. He is kenneled while I'm working, and he easily goes to lay down when it's time for me to leave in the morning. At night and on the weekends, my rat terrier likes to claim this kennel as her own spot. Very sturdy and fairly light weight. Not too wide, so it's easy to find a place to make space for this kennel.Shane

This is a very large kennel. It's perfect for a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab size dog etc. Very easy to assemble. The door works flawlessly. I got this because I have 2 senior dogs a Retriever and a Collie mix and needed something to secure them in the back of my suv when taking them to the vet or groomer. I found that it is much safer to transport them this way than to let them be on the back seat unsecured. I finally have the right size kennel to do so. The door is big enough that I can help them into it with no problem. Another great product from Vibrant Life.HouseStark

This is a perfect kennel for dogs like labs/retrievers. There's enough room for most dogs that size to stand up. I do wish these kinds of kennels had a few extra slots on the bottom so it wasn't quite so dark. It's very easy to put together. I also wish that there was a handle on top – when it's assembled, it's awkward to move around. Disassembles and stores away nicely!Homestead24

Wow this is exactly what I needed for my favorite fur baby on the planet. It was so easy to put together by myself without any issues. It’s thick sturdy plastic that will last years even decades. My doggy loves to get in and lay down even when we’re not traveling. I leave it set up for him always, it’s like his clubhouse and he truly enjoys it even when traveling I put in my back set and he just lays in it , honestly it’s the best spot in the car to ride now. Easy to clean and wash. Absolutely recommend! This was one of my best finds. Happy dog, happy mom!Becka

Advertising this as “chew proof” is a joke. My dog chewed his way out in less than an hour of being in the crate. He was able to pull and bend the metal away from the inside of the crate. Absolute waste of money.Jpillon
