When investing in a dog kennel, quality matters. Discover what sets Kennelstore apart from competitors: British craftsmanship, 15-year guarantees, free professional installation, and insulated floors as standard. Learn why discerning dog owners choose Kennelstore.
When you're investing in a dog kennel, you're not just buying a product—you're choosing a home for your beloved companion that needs to last for years. At Kennelstore, we understand that not all dog kennels are created equal, and we're proud to explain exactly what makes our kennels the premium choice for discerning dog owners across the UK.
British Craftsmanship You Can Trust
While many competitors import mass-produced kennels or use substandard materials, every Kennelstore kennel is crafted in Britain using premium-grade materials built to withstand our unique climate. Our tanalised timber isn't just treated—it's pressure-treated to the highest standards, ensuring deep penetration of preservatives that protect against rot, decay, and insect damage for over a decade.
The Kennelstore difference: We back this with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee—one of the longest in the industry. Most competitors offer 10 years or less, if they offer any guarantee at all.
Insulated Floors as Standard
Here's where we see the biggest difference between Kennelstore and the competition: every single one of our wooden kennels comes with insulated raised floors as standard.
Many competitors either don't offer insulation at all, or charge extra for it as an "upgrade." We believe your dog deserves year-round comfort without compromise. Our insulated floors protect against damp, cold ground in winter and provide a cool retreat in summer—essential for your dog's health and wellbeing in British weather.
Professional Installation Included—Not Optional
We've all seen the horror stories: flat-pack kennels that arrive with missing parts, unclear instructions, and require a full weekend of DIY frustration. At Kennelstore, professional delivery and installation is included free with every kennel—no hidden costs, no DIY stress.
Our experienced installation team will:
- Deliver your kennel anywhere in the UK at no extra charge
- Position it perfectly on level ground
- Assemble and check every fitting
- Walk you through care and maintenance before we leave
What competitors do: Many charge £200-£400 extra for installation, or worse, leave you to figure it out yourself with a confusing instruction manual.
Premium Materials, Not Shortcuts
Galvanised Steel Runs
Our mesh-panelled runs use heavy-duty galvanised steel that won't rust or corrode. We've seen competitors use cheaper powder-coated steel or thin-gauge wire that deteriorates within a few years.
Scandinavian Timber (Windermere Range)
Our flagship Windermere range uses premium Scandinavian timber—denser, more durable, and more weather-resistant than the softwoods many competitors use to cut costs.
30mm Insulation
Where competitors might use 10-15mm insulation (if any), our premium ranges feature 30mm insulated floors for superior thermal performance.
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Costs
Visit a competitor's website and you'll often find:
- Base prices that don't include delivery (add £150-£300)
- Installation charged separately (add £200-£400)
- "Upgrades" for features that should be standard (insulation, quality locks, etc.)
At Kennelstore, the price you see includes:
- ✓ Free UK delivery
- ✓ Professional installation
- ✓ Insulated floors
- ✓ Quality fixtures and fittings
- ✓ 15-year anti-rot guarantee
No surprises. No hidden fees.
Size Range and Customization
We offer one of the most comprehensive size ranges in the UK—from compact 8x4 kennels perfect for smaller gardens to spacious 14x6 configurations for larger breeds or multiple dogs.
Competitor limitation: Many only offer 3-4 standard sizes, forcing you to compromise on space.
We also offer bespoke options for customers with specific requirements—something mass-market competitors simply can't accommodate.
Real Customer Service
When you call Kennelstore, you speak to knowledgeable staff who understand dog kennels inside and out. We're not a call centre reading from a script—we're specialists who can help you choose the perfect kennel for your specific needs, garden size, and dog breed.
After-sales support: Need advice on maintenance? Have a question years after purchase? We're here to help. Many competitors disappear after the sale.

The Bottom Line
Yes, you can find cheaper dog kennels. But when you factor in:
- Shorter guarantees (or none at all)
- Extra charges for delivery and installation
- Missing features like insulation
- Inferior materials that need replacing sooner
- Poor customer service and support
...the "cheaper" option often costs more in the long run, not to mention the stress and disappointment.
At Kennelstore, we believe in doing things properly the first time. Premium British materials, expert craftsmanship, comprehensive guarantees, and genuine customer service aren't optional extras—they're what your dog deserves.
