Double dog kennel 2 × 6 m: two separate runs for two dogs
The SAUERLAND double dog kennel 2 × 6 m is a robust kit for building a wooden dog run with a roof, two doors and two separate compartments. The overall size of 2 × 6 m gives 12 m² of floor area, split into two equal compartments of 2 × 3 m. Each dog gets its own sheltered space, without the need for two separate kennels. The combination of solid wood and a metal front gives the kennel protection, strength and a smart appearance.
Two dogs, two sheltered living areas
A dividing wall splits the kennel into two equal 2 × 3 m compartments, so each dog gets its own space with a clear separation. Each compartment has its own door, so both dogs can be cared for independently. The rear wall and side sections are closed, giving both compartments more shelter from wind, weather and prying eyes.
The front is open enough for visibility, ventilation and good access to both compartments. The roof is included and protects both compartments from precipitation. Choose the wood colour from five shades and the metal front from bars at 5 cm or 8 cm spacing or a 5 × 5 cm mesh.
Why the double kennel 2 × 6 m
More width for two dogs
The overall width of 6 m creates a more generous front than the 2 × 4 m double kennel, while the 2 m depth stays manageable. Each compartment measures 2 × 3 m and offers a usable rectangular area. Its elongated shape lets you place it along walls, buildings, courtyard sides or property boundaries.
Sturdy construction for permanent outdoor use
The double kennel is based on a robust frame construction and is supplied as an easy-to-assemble kit. Solid wooden walls create a sheltered space, while the metal front provides light, ventilation and visibility. The galvanised steel frame ensures stability during long-term outdoor use.
Compatible accessories
For the double kennel 2 × 6 m, accessories are available, including a wooden floor, roof fascia, feeding set, dog house and other kennel equipment. Choose accessories to match the overall size and the split into two compartments so that floor, roof and equipment fit together.

Answers to common questions
Which breeds and purposes are the kennels suitable for?
The kennels are designed for robust, active dogs, especially working and guarding breeds such as German shepherd, Belgian malinois, rottweiler, dobermann, Bernese mountain dog and similar. They suit owners of working and guard dogs, breeders, farmers with house dogs, dog handlers and service-dog handlers.
Why choose a double kennel instead of two separate ones?
A double kennel with a dividing wall offers two equal 2 × 3 m compartments in a single unit. It is simpler to set up and more affordable than two separate kennels, while each dog gets its own sheltered space with its own door.
How much space should a dog have?
As a general recommendation a dog should have at least 6 m² of usable floor area, with no side shorter than 2 m. Each compartment of this double kennel measures 2 × 3 m (6 m²), which matches this guideline for one dog per compartment. For large working breeds we recommend significantly more than the minimum.
Why do you recommend a bar system for strong dogs?
Vertical bars give the dog no grip to climb, reducing the risk of injury and over-excited behaviour at the front of the kennel. This is especially important for drive-strong guarding and working dogs.
What base do you recommend?
Gravel is ideal: it drains well, is easy to maintain and stable. Direct contact with grass is problematic long term, as damp grass accelerates rot and parasites. At support points we recommend paving stones or concrete slabs for a permanently stable stance.
Does the kennel need a dog house?
We recommend the dog always has shelter from the weather in the kennel. For dogs living outdoors all year we recommend insulated models with a vestibule as wind protection. Our dog houses are matched to the kennel models and can be purchased separately.
