Description

Are you looking for an outdoor shelter where your dog can feel cosy, safe and secure? To be the happy and friendly pets that they are, our dogs need somewhere they can relax and recharge. A comfortable den just for them!

This Waltons 8 x 6 Staffordshire dog kennel and run consists of two parts; a spacious shelter at the back and an open mesh area to the front. A stable door joins the two sections together, so your dog can choose if they’d like to snuggle up inside, or sit out and enjoy the fresh air.

We manufacture this wooden pet house using 12mm interlocking Shiplap tongue and groove boards; this creates a solid structure that is guaranteed to offer years of reliable use. A solid sheet board roof covers the entire building, and is finished with high quality mineral felt for long-lasting, weatherproof protection. To ensure your dog is comfortable inside the shelter, the flooring is constructed using high grade tongue and groove boards.

This building must be constructed on a firm level base such as concrete or concrete slabs.

Important Information

What does Dip Treated mean?

This dog kennel is dip treated during our manufacturing process. This involves applying a water based colourant to your garden building, protecting your shed whilst it is in storage and transit. However, it is important to note that this treatment is not a preservative. Therefore, your garden building will still require a high-quality timber preservative and waterproofing top coat as soon as possible after construction.

Where can I find the exact measurements of my dog kennel?

Before purchasing your new dog kennel be sure to check the specific measurements of its size in the Specification section of the product listing. As often in product titles, we round up measurements just so it’s easier for you to find your perfect garden building.

How will my new dog kennel arrive?

Your new dog kennel will be supplied as a flat-pack DIY kit with full instructions. If you’re taking on the project yourself, be sure to check out our Self-Installation advice page for plenty of helpful tips.

We strongly advise if you are planning on using a third party installer to construct your dog kennel that you do not book their services until you receive and are happy with your garden building. As we do not cover any third party cost in the instance of a failed delivery or a damaged item preventing installation.

Please note that this dog kennel has been dressed to look its very best in our product images. Any accessories or fixtures featured are not supplied with this garden building.

Does my new dog kennel come with any guarantees?

As standard, this dog kennel includes a 1 year Manufacturer’s guarantee, as well as a 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee*. Just make sure to follow the product instructions and our manufacturers recommendations and your guarantee will be good to go.

What does my 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee cover?

All of our Dip Treated garden buildings benefit from our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee. This will cover your garden building against fungal decay as long as the conditions of the guarantee have been followed.

These conditions include treating your new garden building with a high-quality timber preservative and waterproof top coat.Treatments of this sort should be applied as soon as your garden building has been constructed, and reapplied annually thereafter. This will enable you to maintain your 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee and will keep your dog kennel in tip-top condition!

Please note that our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee does not cover your garden building from the movement of timber that takes place over time. This includes; the twisting, warping and splitting of timber.

For more information on our 10 Year Anti-rot Guarantee please refer to our Terms & Conditions.

Does my new dog kennel require planning permission?

We work hard to design all of our garden buildings to adhere to the planning permission guidelines. However, we cannot guarantee that planning permission will not be required. Therefore, before constructing your garden building we advise checking with your local authorities.

What base do I require for my new dog kennel?

A flat, level base is essential when building your new dog kennel. We recommend the following bases; concrete, slab paving, ground-level bearers or a wooden frame.

Prior to building your dog kennel be sure to check your base is level in both directions. If the base of your dog kennel is not level when it is constructed it will cause the building to twist and warp with the natural movement of the timber. Therefore, it is really important to adjust your base accordingly to achieve this before constructing your garden building.

For more information on how to build a suitable base take a look at our handy guide. - How to Build a Shed Base.

How do I care for my new dog kennel?

To ensure your dog kennel stands the test of time it’s important to follow the guidance outlined in your building’s product instructions and Manufacturer’s Recommendations.

We have also created these super handy Maintenance Guides to help you take care of your shed. They are full of our expert advice and useful tips so you can enjoy your dog kennel for years to come!

However, if you do need any further support, don't worry we are on hand to help. Just give our friendly Customer Service Team a call on 0800 029 1000.

Sheds Treatment

Dip Treatment

Our sheds are dip treated during manufacture as standard. This is the process in which we apply a water based colourant for protection whilst in storage and transit. This is not a preservative therefore the building will require a preservative and waterproofing top coat application as soon after construction as possible. This is required to validate your 10 year anti-rot guarantee.

Timber is cut ready for treatment.

Timber is dipped into a cylider containing preservative.

Preservative is absorbed into the surface of the timber.

Timber is removed from cylinder containing preservative.

Timber is left to airdry.

Pressure Treatment

Pressure treatment is a high pressure chemical process designed to preserve exposed timber, by providing optimal protection against insect attack, fungal attack and decay. The pressure treatment process impregnates preservative chemicals deep into the timber fibres to protect it against the elements. This process provides your building with 15 years anti rot guarantee, providing you apply a waterproof treatment once installed and annually thereafter.

timber is loaded into a chamber & a vacuum empties timber cells of air.

Timber is flooded under vacuum with preservative.

Preservative is forced deep into timber using hydraulic pressure.

Another vacuum extracts excess preservative.

Timber is left to dry under a low pressure.

Natural Wood Characteristics

Natural Wood Characteristicts

As wood is a natural material it may be affected by the following:

Shrinkage & Warping

The timber used in the construction of your garden building will have retained some of its natural moisture content. The moisture content of the timber will vary, depending upon prevailing environmental conditions, which will result in the components either naturally expanding or contracting. As the components dry out shrinkage may occur. A good waterproofing treatment from the start is the best protection to minimise the effect of moisture loss/intake.

Damp & Mould

During the winter months, cold and damp conditions can result in an increased amount of moisture within your garden building, especially when used infrequently. Condensation can form on the timber and other items stored within your garden building. If left this moisture is likely to cause mould and mildew. To prevent the build-up of moisture, we recommend leaving the door or windows of your building open from time to time, to allow the fresh air to circulate. We also advise against storing wet or damp items in your garden building as this will also increase the level of moisture in the building. If mould or mildew does start to form within your building we recommend using an anti-mould cleaner to remove it and to prevent it spreading, which if left untreated could permanantly damage your garden building.

Splits, Cracks & Knots

Small splits and cracks in some components or holes may appear where knots shrink and fall out. This will not affect the structure of your garden building however if you wish to fill them this can be easily done using any good quality wood filler

Sap

Sap is naturally occurring in wood and may appear in some boards of your garden building. If you wish to remove the sap, we advise waiting until it is dry and then using a sharp knife to carefully remove it. If the removal of the sap causes a hole in the timber, we recommend using a good quality wood filler to fill it.

Please be aware that these are natural timber characteristics which in most cases will not impact the structure or function of the garden building, therefore are not considered as product defects (as outlined within our Terms & Conditions). If you require further advise or information please contact our friendly Customer Services Team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose a delivery slot?

We will contact you on the morning of your confirmed delivery date by email and/or SMS with a 2-hour delivery time slot. We aim to meet these delivery times but during busy periods, deliveries may take a little longer, however we always work hard to keep delays to a minimum.

What access is needed for my delivery?

Our drivers are only contracted to provide kerbside drop offs and deliveries. They will NOT bring any of our orders through your home. A driver may offer to take an order further; for instance a back garden but this is ONLY at their own discretion. If you have added our installation service to your order please be aware that they will require full access to your garden. Our installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer's home. If you have any questions about access or you live in a restricted access zone please contact our sales team on 0800 029 1000. Our team will be able to provide you with more information and specific building information.

Will I need to help my delivery driver?

Our drivers DO NOT need your help during a delivery. They will not ask for your help and they can manage all the items themselves. We are not insured to cover any customer injuries and therefore we ask you NOT to help or try and help our drivers while they make a delivery.
