Good fencing and flooring can make a big difference in a dog kennel. You want to invest in flooring that is durable and easy on your dog’s paws, and fencing that is strong and will not rust. Take a look at the options The Dog Kennel Collection offers to find quality materials for your dog kennel fencing and flooring.
Qualities of Good Dog Kennel Fencing
Durability
An important quality of good dog kennel fencing is durability. The fencing in your dog kennel runs needs to be strong enough to withstand the force of big dogs and not easy to chew through or break. Be sure to invest in quality fencing material for your kennel like welded wire or chain link panels.
Secure Gates and Latches
Any good dog kennel owner is going to want to be concerned about the latches and locks on his kennel. Gates and latches that are easy for dogs to compromise may end in disaster. But neither do you want a latch that is too much work for you to open. Find a latch that works for you and keeps your dogs securely in their kennel.
Weather Resistance
Nobody wants a rusty kennel. Investing in a kennel that is weather-resistant may save you some extra money down the road. Try stainless steel fencing or vinyl-coated welded wire fencing if you are looking for a good weather-resistant option.
Qualities of Good Dog Kennel Flooring
Comfort and Durability
Good kennel flooring will be comfortable on your dog’s paws. While some cheap flooring options like gravel may seem like a good choice, it may hurt your dog’s paws and not be the best choice. It is also important to choose a durable option that will not fade and is chew-resistant.
Chemical Resistant
Another feature of good dog kennel flooring is chemical resistance. Some flooring options like rubber may not be very chemical resistant when in contact with certain cleaners. Disinfectants should not have an impact on your kennel floor.
Good Drainage
Good drainage is very important for kennel flooring. You do not want your dog to be walking in puddles of water or urine, so opt for a kennel that offers drainage solutions. Some flooring options like our Tenderfoot flooring may be a good option for proper drainage in the kennel.
