Getting the size right

A kennel that is too large never warms up, because the heat it holds is the dog's own. Aim for enough room to stand, turn and stretch out, with a doorway around three-quarters of shoulder height, and check your measurements against the dimensions given for the wooden outdoor dog kennel before you order.

Keeping the inside dry

Damp is the real enemy rather than cold. Straw and shavings drain and cost little to replace, a blanket is warmer but needs changing as soon as it is wet, and a mat that lifts the dog off the boards helps in both cases. Washable options are in dog beds and mattresses, and a door flap keeps warm air from spilling straight out.

Build details that matter

Look underneath and above before you look at the styling. A floor raised clear of the ground keeps rain and rising damp out and lets the timber breathe, while a roof overhanging the walls throws water past the doorway. Both are worth confirming on the wooden kennel, along with a yearly coat of pet-safe preservative.

Siting it in the garden

Wind, sun and sightlines decide the spot. Back it onto a wall or fence with the entrance turned away from the weather, keep some shade over it in summer, level the ground so the door sits square, and leave it where your dog can see the house. Keep water outside the kennel in a bowl from bowls, feeders and water.

Indoors is still the answer

A kennel is for shade and shelter during the day, never a place to leave a dog once it turns cold. For a den your dog can actually sleep in, use a crate from dog crates and furniture with a supportive bed from dog beds and mattresses inside it.

Outdoor dog kennels: your questions answered

What size should an outdoor dog kennel be?

Snug rather than roomy, because a kennel is warmed by the dog's own body heat. Your dog should stand without ducking, turn round and lie fully stretched, and little more: measure nose to base of tail and add about 15 to 20 cm for the internal length. Keep the doorway to roughly three-quarters of shoulder height so wind does not blow straight through, and compare your figures with the dimensions listed for the wooden outdoor dog kennel.
Can my dog sleep outside in a kennel in winter?

No. A kennel is shelter for a dog spending part of the day outdoors, not a substitute for coming inside when it is cold. Dogs lose heat fast once they settle, and puppies, thin-coated breeds, older dogs and any dog that is unwell should be indoors whenever the temperature drops. Give your dog an indoor den instead, using a crate from dog crates and furniture and a warm bed from dog beds and mattresses.
What is the best bedding for a dog kennel?

Whatever you can keep dry. Damp bedding pulls heat out of a dog far faster than cold air does, so straw or wood shavings work well outdoors because they drain and are cheap to replace. A blanket or mat is warmer but has to be swapped the moment it is wet, so keep a spare. Washable options that lift the dog off the panel are in dog beds and mattresses, and they suit a kennel provided you can dry them between uses.
Why does a kennel need a raised floor and a roof overhang?

Because both keep water out, and a wet kennel is a cold kennel. Feet or legs holding the base clear of the ground stop rain running in and stop damp wicking up through the timber, while air moving underneath is what keeps the floor from rotting. A roof that overhangs the walls sheds water past the doorway instead of down the front and in. Both are worth checking on the wooden kennel or on any kennel you compare it with.
Where should I place a kennel in the garden?

Against a wall or fence that blocks the prevailing wind, with the entrance facing away from it, on level ground that is shaded for part of the day. Keep it within sight of the house so your dog can see the family, and stand it on slabs if the ground is soft so the kennel does not settle unevenly. Put water outside rather than inside, using a bowl from bowls, feeders and water, so the bedding stays dry.
