What Size Outdoor Pen Do I Need For My Dog?
Getting the correct sized self-assembly pen for your dog is essential. We offer three sizes of dog pens. The smaller 1.5m x 3m pen is perfect for a smaller sized garden or a smaller sized dog. While the larger 3m x 3m pen or the 6m x 3m dog pen is suitable for almost any dog, a larger garden, or even two dogs. The most crucial things when choosing your dog pen are the size of the dog and the duration that you plan to have them inside the pen for.
So now you may ask, ‘How do I know what size pen to get for my dog?’ A smaller pen would suit a dog from the size of a Bichon Frise to a Cocker Spaniel. Dog breeds at the higher end of that scale should not be confined to the pen for long periods of time.
The larger dog pens are perfect for almost any dog breed, and if you have the option we would strongly recommend that you choose the 3m x 3m or the 6m x 3m self-assembly dog pen. The reason for this is that they give the dog plenty of space to roam and play making sure that both you and your pet are happy.
If you just can’t decide what outdoor dog pen is suitable for your dog call us on 0404 45930 and we will always be happy to help.
Where Do I Put The Self-Assembly Dog Pen In My Garden?
Out of drafts and direct sunlight is the best place for an outdoor dog pen.
Dog pens need to be placed on a safe surface. We are going to briefly talk you through some we would recommend.
Grass provides a soft flooring for the dog run. If you are placing your dog pen on grass, we would urge that you move it around from time to time. This way your dog will always have a fresh patch of grass to play on.
Concrete and paving slabs are some of the other surfaces for dog pens that we would recommend.
What Are Dog Pens Made Out Of?
It is also important that your outdoor dog pen is strong and made from high quality materials. This helps to ensure that your pet is kept safely inside the dog pen. The higher the standard of the materials used the safer your pet is going to be and here at Pets.ie we make your dog’s safety our top priority.
We use 32mm galvanised steel tubing to make our dog pens. This tubing is very sturdy and ensures that your dog run is a safe structure. The wire used is thick and ensures that your dog will be kept safely inside. Our self-assembly dog runs also have heavy duty hinges which accompany the dog proof lockable gate.
What Type of Kennel Do I Need For My Dog?
We would recommend that all dogs have a kennel to provide extra shelter. This will ensure that the dog has a cosy place to rest while inside the pen.
We offer a wide range of kennels, both plastic and wooden. All our plastic dog kennels are easy to wash, while our wooden dog kennels are guaranteed to be extra cosy.
