Whether your dog is a part-time backyard explorer or a full-time escape artist, a sturdy outdoor kennel can provide the perfect combination of freedom and safety. And Target’s heavy-duty option is gaining attention for offering both.
Designed for yards, patios, or open land, this freestanding kennel gives dogs room to stretch while keeping them securely contained. It’s a smart solution for pet parents who want peace of mind during outdoor play, yard work, or even quick runs to the store. Whether you’re hosting guests, gardening, or stepping away from home, this outdoor setup allows your pup to stay close without the worry of wandering off.
The ALAULM Large Dog Kennel Outdoor Heavy Duty Dog Crate features a sturdy metal frame with secure double-lock doors and reinforced corners for extra stability. Measuring roughly 10 feet by 10 feet, or 118 inches wide and long, it provides plenty of space for large breeds—or even two medium dogs—to run around or rest. The weatherproof canopy offers shade and protection from the weather, while the breathable mesh sides allow airflow and visibility, keeping your pup cool and easily supervised.

Setup is refreshingly simple: no tools required. Additionally, the steel frame is rust-resistant and designed to withstand long-term outdoor use, even in unpredictable weather conditions. The structure holds up well on lawns, gravel, or even patio stone, giving pet parents plenty of placement flexibility.
This kennel is also perfect for puppies who aren’t quite ready for full backyard freedom or for owners without fenced-in yards. It provides a shaded, secure spot on properties with plenty of open space, and no permanent installation is required.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to add safety, shade, and space to your dog’s outdoor time, this Target-exclusive kennel just might be your new go-to.
