Setting Up Your Outdoor Dog Run

 

Where is the best place for your Dog Run?

 

 

We Irish love our pets and in particular, our canine friends. The most popular method of keeping our dogs safe and secure is in a dog run. Indoor or outdoor dog runs. InTheMarket.ie provide dog runs for sale and we are going to look at some ideas about what to put your dog run on, below.

All of the dog run ideas below are for outdoor dog runs. Having a dog run for your large or small dog, in your garden is an excellent method to give your dog the freedom to run and play when you are away from home.

There are numerous advantages for both you and your dog. For starters, it provides a secure enclosed room for your dog to exercise without having to worry about them ruining your garden or crawling under the fence to get outdoors.

Second, it can serve as a gathering spot for your dog and their pals. Finally, being outside rather than being restricted all of the time inside the house allows your dog to relax, and the more calm they are, the less difficulty they cause.

The most common type of portable dog run enclosure is a chain link fence, which is the type we sell at InTheMarket.ie and it is what people in Ireland are used to keeping their dogs in. It’s simple to set up and take down, as well as robust and long-lasting. It can easily be moved if required, also. Another advantage of a chain-link fence is that it allows you to look in while also allowing your dog to see out.

 

A dog house provides shade for your dog and protects him from the sun, wind, and rain. Even if your dog run already has patios and trees, you should think about installing one because you never know what the weather will be like when you are away from home.

 

 

 

We advise securing your dog run with simple ties that you can drive into the ground. This will ensure that the dog run should not move in stormy Irish weather.

 

  1. Grass

Many dog owners choose natural grass because it is less expensive than artificial grass. Natural grass, on the other hand, necessitates a lot of upkeep. The grass must be mowed, watered, and fertilized on a regular basis. To eliminate insects and control weeds, you’ll also need to spray insecticide and herbicide.

 

To keep the fake grass fresh, make a solution of one part water and one part vinegar and spray it on the area where your dog poos and pees.

 

  1. Gravel

Gravel is an excellent choice for dog-run flooring, particularly if you live in a hot climate. It gives your dog a cool area to walk and roll around on. Gravel, on the other hand, can cause injury to your dog’s feet, so if you insist on using it, make sure it’s pea gravel or another round gravel kind with no sharp edges.

 

  1. Cobble Stone

Despite the fact that the cobble stones can be costly, the mix of cobble stone and grass can create an aesthetically appealing dog run. If you’re going to utilise cobblestones, make sure they’re not too smooth or too rough. The stones that are too smooth could cause slips and falls while the stones that are too rough could bruise your dog’s feet.

 

Because paving stones can quickly get scorching on hot days, a shaded space around the dog run.

 

  1. Concrete

Paving stones are more expensive, thus a concrete pad is a better option. Although paving stones are more appealing, they both have the same advantage: they are easy to clean. However, if your dog has sensitive paws, you may want to consider the other options because concrete can be abrasive.
