Project Info
This kennel is a great example of how a small space can serve multiple purposes. The owner uses it for pet sitting, giving them a dedicated area to care for other people’s furry friends. It’s also set up for basic training sessions, allowing for focused work with dogs in a controlled environment.
Interestingly, the kennel also serves as a nursery once a year when the owner breeds a litter of puppies. This versatility shows how a well-designed pet structure can adapt to different needs throughout the year.
Main Features of the 8×10 Residential Kennel:
- Durable Exterior: The kennel is clad in LP SmartSide in Hunter Green, creating a classic, attractive appearance. Navajo-colored trim and door provide a pleasing contrast, while a Weather Gray shingle roof tops it off nicely.
- Easy Access: An upgraded 24″ Standard Dog Door allows pets to come and go with ease. For human access, the kennel features an upgraded Vent Lite entry door, improving both ventilation and natural light.
- Natural Lighting: In addition to the vent lite door, an extra 18×23 window brightens the interior and allows for better observation of the animals inside.
- Basic Amenities: The standard electric package includes one light with a switch and one outlet, providing essential illumination and power. For climate control, an Envi wall-mounted heater keeps the space comfortable in cooler weather.
Despite its modest size, this 8×10 Residential Kennel packs in all the essentials for comfortable and practical pet care. It’s a testament to smart design in a small package, proving that effective animal care spaces don’t always need to be large to be functional.
