Portable Dog Kennels
Portable Dog Kennels in Humboldt County, CA
Pre-assembled galvanized chain-link kennels that ship flat, set up without tools, and don't require digging a single hole. Built in Fortuna. Standard 6×8, 6×10, and 6×12 sizes, plus custom dimensions on about a week's turnaround.
A portable kennel is the fastest way to get a safe, secure run for your dog without hiring a fencing crew for a day of post-digging and concrete work. Our standard kennels arrive at your property as four pre-assembled panels: one gate section, two side sections, and one back section. You set them upright, connect them with eight clamps and eight nuts and bolts, and you have a finished kennel, usually inside thirty minutes.
Every kennel we build is galvanized steel chain-link construction, the same heavy-duty material we use on our full-scale chain link fence installations. That matters on the North Coast, where marine air eats through cheap imported kennel steel in a couple of seasons.
Standard sizes
Our three standard portable kennel sizes, all 6 feet tall:
- 6 ft wide × 8 ft long: the compact option, fits a single medium dog
- 6 ft wide × 10 ft long: our most-popular size for single large dogs or doubled-up medium dogs
- 6 ft wide × 12 ft long: for larger dogs, multiple dogs, or owners who want a roomier run
Each complete unit includes four panels: one gate section, two side sections, and one back section. Everything is pre-assembled at our Fortuna shop and ships as a flat four-panel set.
Why it works
- Easy setup, no construction skills required
- No holes to dig
- No concrete to mix
- No wire to stretch
- Just eight clamps
- Just eight nuts and bolts
For anyone who's watched a fence crew spend three days digging, setting, and curing posts, the difference is immediate. Portable kennels trade the rigidity of a fixed install for speed, relocatability, and the ability to take the kennel with you if you move.
Construction
All galvanized materials for long-lasting durability. All panels are pre-assembled at our Fortuna yard, so when your kennel shows up, it's not a box of parts, it's four finished panels ready to stand upright and connect. Custom builds (non-standard dimensions, taller heights, specific gate placements) take approximately one week for completion.
Lucky Dog Kennels
We also carry the Lucky Dog kennel: a smaller pre-fab unit with the cover installed measuring 6 ft H × 8 ft L × 4 ft W (5 ft H without the cover).
- Heavy-duty waterproof cover with UV protection
- 1.5-inch raised legs for easy cleaning
- Pre-assembled modular panels
- No tools required for setup
- Steel construction with welded components
The Lucky Dog is the right fit when you want something smaller, moveable, with a built-in cover, for example, as a travel or secondary kennel.
