E. Wooden Dog Crate
The main material is wood. It is a sturdy and durable option for your pup.
The material of choice, wood offers warmth to their joints during those cool winter months when they need it most!
This type also has the added bonus that because its shape varies from sleek lines in some models all throughout others which gives them an even stronger look – this will serve not only function but style too!

F. Large Dog Kennel
Some dog owners use large crates to allow their pets more room. These types of animal homes are called “pet runs” because they take up so much space!
The basic frame for these metal or galvanized iron bars consists of outwards-facing pipes surrounded by mesh sheets, with one side being longer than 1 meter long in most cases (even 4 – 5m!).
You can go green and choose this type over others if you have an appropriately wide lawn at home too though.
It usually has an extra top to repel water and protect against UV rays.
G. Large Kennel: Wall-to-wall Kennels
One or more sides of the kennel will be based on a wall or a fence. A wall-to-wall kennel is a great option for people who have multiple large dogs or just want to be able to keep their pup from running away.
These types of compartments allow you some degree of individualized care and are pretty easy to clean since all the dirt falls into one section rather than being everywhere across its length like in traditional wire cages.
The size depends on what will work best with how many pets we’re taking care of at once but these things can hold up quite nicely when it comes down to durability!
H. Large Kennel: Mesh-type Large Dog Crate
They are made of several individual pieces of mesh that are spliced together by screws or connectors.
Features a large area and is easy to install, so that pets have a larger space to move. And it is moveable, the user can choose to add a top, which can be waterproof and UV-resistant.
