Provide your dog with a massive, secure area for exercise and rest. At nearly 6 metres in length, this enclosure offers significantly more freedom than standard kennels. Built with a hot-dip galvanised steel frame and flexible chain-link mesh, it ensures secure containment with maximum airflow. The included roof cover creates a designated sheltered zone, ensuring your pet stays dry during showers and protected from the sun.
Important: This dog run is designed for supervised outdoor activity and is not an escape-proof kennel. Highly active dogs, dogs unfamiliar with outdoor enclosures, or dogs prone to separation anxiety, chewing, digging, or pushing against barriers may damage the mesh or attempt to escape. Gradual acclimation and supervision are recommended.

Cover Installation Tips:
- Ensure the top edge of the mesh is positioned slightly below the top frame. Avoid leaving sharp wire ends protruding upward where they may contact the roof cover.
- If any wire ends extend above the frame, use pliers to bend them downward before installing the cover.
- For additional protection, you may wrap any exposed wire ends with tape, rubber tubing, or other protective material to help prevent unnecessary wear to the cover over time.

🐕 Dog Run – Common FAQs
Quick answers about sizing, assembly, installation and everyday use.
The enclosure has a 196 × 582cm footprint, providing approximately 11.41m² of enclosed space, with a 230cm peak height. The right size depends on your dog’s breed, activity level and how long the enclosure will be used.
Yes. One grey 420D Oxford roof cover is included. It covers one section of the enclosure to create a sheltered area. Its waterproof coating and UV inhibitors help provide shade and protection from rain, while the open sides maintain airflow.
Yes. It is designed for DIY assembly, although two people are recommended, especially when tensioning and securing the chain-link mesh. Assembly time varies depending on the enclosure size and installation experience.
Before installation, fully unfold the mesh and lay it flat. Gently twist any uneven wire sections back into alignment, then pull the mesh tight and secure it evenly to the frame with the supplied metal ties. Properly preparing the mesh helps make installation smoother and creates a safer, more secure enclosure.
The reinforced gate uses separate top-and-bottom steel latches to help secure both ends of the closing edge. Check both latches and the mesh tension regularly, particularly if your dog is active or prone to pushing against enclosures.
