Layouts

There are many ways you can lay out your dog boarding, daycare, veterinarian, or grooming facility.
There isn't a 'perfect' layout, but there are some that work better in certain situations and applications.

Here are a few common layouts we see often:

Layout: Pros:Cons:
Face-to-face dog kennel layout Face to face kennels.
  • Single aisle in middle of room.
  • Easy to access the dogs.
  • More Costly.
  • Can block windows.
Back-to-back dog kennel layout Back to back kennels.
  • Cost Effective.
  • Two Aisles needed.
 Attached to existing walls dog kennel layout  Kennels attached to existing walls
  • The most Cost Effective
  • Single aisle in middle of room
  • Can allow "indoor/outdoor" run setups
  • Walls need to be 'dog-proof'

*No kennel order is too big or small! We can make any quantity of kennels desired. All of our layouts show 10 only as an example.* Check out a price-list for the components needed to build these kennel configurations.

Some common kennel sizes are:

Our kennels can either be free-standing or use your existing walls as part of the kennel structure.

Using your walls can save you money - but only works if the walls are 'dog-proof'!

This is not a list of ALL the sizes you can make with our kennels! Nor are these the only layouts you can do! It is possible to mix/match various sized panels, posts, and gates to create just about any size and configuration you may need! Also, we have the ability to 'custom-size' the panels. For example, if you need a 42" wide panel - tell us - we'll make it for you!

 

Frequently asked Questions - Dog Kennel Layouts:

     There is not really a perfect layout. A lot depends on your building and how you want to move the dogs around. The layouts listed on this page are some of the more common layouts we see - but they are not the ONLY way to pack kennels in your facility. For more detailed information on laying out your kennel facility, check out our blog post on the subject.

     Dog Daycares need to abide by local fire-codes and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) standards (like any other public building). This means the minimum aisle needs to be at least 3ft wide. We recommend aisles that are 4ft wide because you are typically walking down the aisle with the dog walking next to you. A wider aisle also allows for cleaning equipment and other people to get through the area easier.

     No problem! Our kennels are designed to allow us to build just about any layout possible! We can help you with the layout and create a quote showing all of the parts/pieces that you will need.

     We can build kennels of all sizes! We would just mix/match the posts/panels/gates to create the size you will need! If need be, we can also create custom-sized gates or panels.

     That is possible! Usually, this means the kennel in the very corner is larger (so it can still be accessed without having to enter another kennel). We can help with your layout - and draw up a quote showing the parts/pieces you will need.
