Whether you need a dog kennel for your personal use, as an adjunct to your business as a veterinarian or to board dogs for your business, chances are that you’ve considered using steel buildings as dog kennels. Steel buildings aren’t an unusual choice to house dogs and other animals. They’re easy to customize for cages and pens, can include all the storage space you need and provide all the amenities you’ll need to keep the buildings sanitary, healthy and comfortable. If you’re considering expanding your kennel or adding kennels to your property, take a look at the benefits provided by using steel buildings as kennels for your business or home.
Easy to Insulate
Steel building shells are designed for easy insulation. The walls can be standardized to hold sheets of insulation between the outer steel shell and inner walls, and machined to make it easy to run straps through channels to hold the insulation in place. And because steel buildings are engineered to fit together precisely, the insulation is far more efficient than it would be in other types of buildings.
Open Floor Plans
The most popular types of steel buildings are clear span – that is, they have no interior support columns. That means that the entire interior of your building will be one open space – easy to customize for any floor plan. You can easily have the interior walls customized to fit dog cages of various sizes, include walls of shelving for storage and have the building walls made with channels to run electrical wires and plumbing, making it far easier to add power and running water to a metal building than it is to add it to other types of construction.
Sanitation
The most efficient floor for a dog kennel is coincidentally the easiest and most common foundation for a steel building – concrete. Concrete floors with installed drains couple with steel walls and supports to make steel buildings easy to keep clean. All you need to do is hose down and clean with a disinfectant. Steel is non-porous, so bacteria and pathogens don’t penetrate the surface and lie in wait to cause outbreaks of disease. Likewise, steel doesn’t absorb odors – a major plus in materials for a building that will house dogs.
Expansion and Scalability
One of the major plusses of using steel buildings for kennel business is the ease with which you can expand. Many kennel businesses use multiple smaller steel buildings standing side by side and linked by a connecting door. This makes it easier to house dogs in small groups rather than warehousing them. It also makes it easy to expand by adding another building or two or more, as long as you have the space for it.
If you run a kennel business or need a building to house dogs or other animals, consider the advantages of steel buildings for needs. Affordable and efficient, they’re an effective solution to your need for space.
