Dog runs Munster

Lucuma

I would like to buy a dog run but am on a limited budget. We have 2 outdoor dogs both big dogs (labrador + labradoodle) and they are a bit hyper and jumpy. I have a 3yo and 5yo myself plus my nieces and nephew come to my house during the week (I mind them) they are aged 4 (with a fear of dogs) and 6 and a newborn. Little kids age 3 also come to the house for playdates. Plus birthday parties if kids want to play outside etc.
So the dog run would be a place to safely contain the dogs during certain times. My concerns are given the recent weather - what stops the dog run from blowing over/blowing away? I'm talking about the galvanised steel type.

Also does anyone have experience of a supplier in the Munster area I would need it delivered and installed to Cork. I don't have anyone that could put it up for me so would need the supplier to do it (assuming there's some work involved?)

The budget is fairly tight so would appreciate any advice on dog run suppliers in Cork/Munster

Thanks

Not sure what your budget is, but Jebb Tools in Cork are generally great value for crates, so I'm assuming they are for dog runs too? They look to have a bit of a sale on at the min too... scroll down this link...

I've gotten a similar cat run from this guy https://www.stsheds.com/product-category/kennelsruns/

He makes it up in panels, delivers and assembles it at your house. Sound guy to deal with and would recommend him. I have my cat run nearly 2 years now. He's based in portarlington but delivered to me in Galway. He mentioned to me about doing a delivery to sligo so I'm sure he'd travel to Cork also.

I used these guys, we couldn't have been happier and dogs have a huge run for when we need to contain them.

Thanks lads. And what stops the dog run from blowing away/blowing over in a storm? Is it the sheer weight of it and I'm worrying about nothing?

I have a run from a crowd up north. Its galvanised steel. I originally had it on the lawn and decided to move it to the patio. It took twelve people to move it by rolling it on round fencing posts. It is very, very heavy when assembled. It also has no roof so there is nothing for the wind to catch to blow it over. My nieces playhouse and the garden shed have both been victims of the wind here over the years but that dog run has never moved an inch.

Cheers thanks. I don't want to drop a few hundred on something that gets damaged in the next Storm Whats-his-name to hit

Just to be clear so - it doesn't need to be secured into the ground in any way. It just sits on the grass?

Mine is not secured in anyway. There is a big wall behind it though so it has a bit of shelter. I did pay £600 stg ish for mine 10 years ago though so something at a few hundred euro may not be as heavy.
