Welcome to Gator Kennels

Your Go-to Destination for High-quality Professional Dog Kennels

We specialize in building commercial dog kennels suitable for many different industries and situations. Anyone can "build a box to fit a dog" - but we pride ourselves on making kennels that will last and look great for years to come.

Start with quality materials

HDPE Plastic and Anodized Aluminum

Materials that will not rot, rust, or absorb urine will last a lot longer in your kennel facility. HDPE is a very heavy-duty plastic that is commonly used in agriculture. You have seen it before on playgrounds and as stall dividers in public restrooms. FDA approved for use in the food industry. BPA-free.

The support structure of our kennels is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum. The hard anodize coat provides a smooth finish to make it easy to clean and will keep the aluminum's natural silver color forever.

Add some thought to the design

Engineered for Durability

Our gate latch has 4-points of contact - making it stronger than any other latch in the industry. From the small dogs that try to squirt out the bottom, to the large dogs that push on the top of the gate - our latch will hold them all! Additionally, the latch will not hold dog hair or urine - keeping the smells to a minimum and making it easier to clean.

Every Project is Built to Order

From the design layout of the entire kennel-bank to the individual gate features, we will work with you to make sure every detail is correct. We draw up a diagram of your layout and provide it with your quote (for free) so we are all on the same page!

Customizable Kennel Sizes and Layouts

Every building is slightly different and you might need to lay out the kennels - or size the kennels just right to fit your space. We will help you with your layout and ensure you only order the components necessary to construct the kennels to match your needs.

Use What You Already Have

Save cost and space by attaching your kennels to your existing walls. This eliminates the back (and sometimes side) panels - saving money! Of course, this only works if your walls are already 'dog-proof' - but it can add up to substantial savings!

MAKE YOUR KENNEL FACILITY STAND OUT

Add your Custom Logo or Design

For a one-time low-cost fee, we can convert your logo into a program that tells our machines what to do. From there, the machines will engrave (or cut) your logo into each gate! This creates a permanent logo / design that will not fade, wash off, or scratch off!

Many color options in-stock

We have a number of colors available to match your overall theme or design! Custom colors are also available (with minimum quantity requirements).

More Features

Some features come standard - like the clip-board clip and kennel numbering. Other optional features can be added - like tempered glass. Let us know how you'd like the gates to look - we can probably make it happen!
