Short answer: Yes — if you have the yard space and a large dog that needs a secure outdoor run, this is the biggest kennel luxefindscompany sells, with 387.5 sq ft under a waterproof roof for $1,099.95. But the listing rates it for large dogs up to 66 lbs — a low figure for a run this size — so if your dog is heavier than that, check with the seller before you buy.
A big dog that lives partly outdoors needs more than a crate and a patch of lawn. It needs a space large enough to move, stretch, and rest in, with shade and rain cover, and a latch you can trust. That is the job the Heavy Duty Outdoor Dog Kennel with Waterproof Roof, Secure Latch, Chain Link Dog Run for Backyard, 19.7 x 19.7 x 8.9 is built for. It is the largest outdoor kennel in the Luxe Finds range, and it is priced like a serious piece of backyard equipment rather than a seasonal accessory: listed at $1,099.95, marked down from $2,474.89 on the maker's site.
We have not hands-on tested this kennel. Everything in this review comes from the maker's own product page on luxefindscompany, which we checked on 4 November 2026, including the price, the listed specifications, and the 30-day returns policy shown on the page. Where the listing is silent, we say so plainly instead of guessing.

What it is
Short answer: A very large, walk-in, chain-link outdoor dog run with a waterproof fabric roof, sold by Luxe Finds for large dogs, in a single Silver variant.
The full product name tells you most of what you need to know: Heavy Duty Outdoor Dog Kennel with Waterproof Roof, Secure Latch, Chain Link Dog Run for Backyard, 19.7 x 19.7 x 8.9. It is a freestanding outdoor enclosure made from galvanized steel tubes and chain-link mesh panels, with a PE fabric canopy stretched over the top as the roof. The door has a secure latch, and the whole structure is described by the maker as an outdoor dog run for the backyard.
Luxe Finds, the shop behind it, sells a whole range of outdoor kennels and pet gear alongside home and garden products. The vendor name on the listing is Luxe Finds, and the shop's own product copy for this kennel is templated — built from a supplier template rather than written for this exact product, with a leftover placeholder where the brand name should go. That does not change the specifications, which are listed in full, but it is worth knowing: the words around the numbers were not written by someone describing this specific kennel.
The listing shows a single variant: Silver / 1600x275x275 mm. There are no other colours or sizes for this model — if you want this kennel, this is the one.
Size and space: 387.5 sq ft in real terms
Short answer: It is 19.7 ft long, 19.7 ft deep, and 8.9 ft high at the peak, giving about 387.5 sq ft of floor area — roughly the size of a small studio apartment, and far larger than a standard dog crate or a typical 10 x 10 ft kennel run.
The headline number is the floor area: 387.5 sq ft for play and relaxation, according to the maker. The overall dimensions are listed as 236.2 inches wide by 236.2 inches deep by 106.3 inches high, which works out to about 19.7 ft by 19.7 ft by 8.9 ft — and those numbers line up with each other. Multiply 19.7 ft by 19.7 ft and you get about 388 sq ft, so the maker's 387.5 sq ft figure is consistent with the stated footprint rather than a rounded-up marketing number.
What does 387.5 sq ft actually mean for a dog? A standard 10 x 10 ft kennel run gives 100 sq ft. This kennel gives nearly four times that. A large dog can walk, turn, stretch out fully, and still have separate areas for resting and moving around. You can fit a dog house or a raised bed inside it and still have open floor left over. For owners who need to leave a big dog outside for part of the day — while at work, for example — that amount of space is the difference between confinement and a genuinely usable outdoor room.
It also means you need a serious amount of flat yard. Nineteen point seven feet in each direction is a square nearly 20 ft on a side, and you will want a little clearance around it for access and cleaning. Measure your available space before ordering, and remember the kennel sits directly on the ground: no floor is included in the package, so the surface underneath is whatever your yard already is — grass, concrete, gravel, or pavers.
For scale, Luxe Finds also sells a smaller kennel in the same range, a 19.7 x 7.5 ft model with a bowl rack and 149 sq ft of area. This 19.7 x 19.7 ft model is the big one: more than two and a half times the floor area of that smaller run, at a price that reflects it.
Build quality: galvanized steel and chain link
Short answer: The frame is galvanized steel with chain-link mesh panels, and the maker says resilient metal tubes make installation quick and easy — but no assembly time is stated, so do not assume a one-person, one-hour job.
The materials are listed as galvanized steel and PE fabric. Galvanized steel is the right choice for an outdoor kennel: the zinc coating protects the steel from rust, which matters for something that will stand outside through rain and sun for years. The mesh panels are chain link with a 2.6-inch by 2.6-inch grid. That is a fairly open mesh — fine for a large dog, and it keeps the run airy and visible from outside, but it is a number to check if you also have a small dog or a puppy, because the listing describes this kennel for large dogs.
The maker says the resilient metal tubes make frame installation quick and easy. That is the maker's claim, and we have not tested assembly ourselves, so treat it as a claim rather than a promise. What the listing does not say is how long assembly takes or how many people it needs. Other kennels in the same shop do state an assembly time, but this listing does not, so go in expecting a real assembly job: a structure nearly 20 ft on a side with a roof frame is not a five-minute task, and you should plan for at least two people.
The item label on the listing is D02-226V04SR, and the colour is Silver. There is no mention of ground stakes or anchoring hardware in the package list, which is a gap worth noting: a structure this large and this tall catches wind, and the listing gives no wind rating and no anchoring instructions. If your yard is exposed, ask the seller what, if anything, anchors it to the ground before you buy.
The waterproof roof
Short answer: The roof is a waterproof, UV-resistant PE fabric canopy, slanted so water drains off instead of pooling — a fabric canopy, not a solid metal roof.
The roof is one of the main selling points, and the maker's description is specific about how it works. The PE fabric is waterproof and UV-resistant, and the roof is slanted — the maker calls it a top-tilted design — so rainwater runs off instead of collecting on top. Pooling water is what usually kills fabric kennel roofs: the weight stretches the fabric, and the standing water eventually finds a seam. A slanted design is the correct answer to that problem, at least on paper.
Be clear about what the roof is, though. It is a PE fabric canopy, not a solid roof panel. The package list confirms this: it includes one canopy, not a rigid roof. A fabric canopy keeps rain and sun off the dog and will handle ordinary weather, but it is not the same as a metal or polycarbonate roof in a heavy storm or under a snow load, and the listing gives no snow-load or storm rating. The eave height is listed at 59.1 inches, with the peak at 106.3 inches, so the slope is substantial — that is a genuinely slanted roof, not a nearly-flat one with a token tilt.
The UV resistance matters as much as the waterproofing. A fabric roof that is not UV-resistant goes brittle and tears within a season or two in strong sun. The maker says this one is UV-resistant. We have not tested that claim over time, and no buyer should expect a fabric canopy to last as long as the steel frame — but UV-resistant PE is the right material for the job.
The door, the latch, and getting in and out
Short answer: The door is 21.7 inches wide and 55.1 inches high with a secure latch, and the extra-tall design lets you step inside — though at 55.1 inches high, most adults will need to duck.
The door measures 21.7 inches wide by 55.1 inches high. That is wide enough for a large dog to walk through comfortably, and tall enough for most large breeds. The latch is described as secure, and the galvanized steel construction plus the latch are presented by the maker as the safety features of the kennel. A latch that a dog cannot nose open matters more than it sounds: a kennel that a clever dog can open is not a kennel.
The maker describes the design as extra-tall and walk-in, saying it facilitates easy access to your pet and makes cleaning easy. The overall height of 8.9 ft certainly makes the interior feel open rather than cramped. But be realistic about the door: at 55.1 inches — about 4 ft 7 in — most adults will duck going in. That is normal for a kennel door, and it is not a flaw, but "walk-in" should be read as "you can step inside to clean and reach your dog" rather than "you can stroll in upright."
Cleaning is a real consideration with a run this size, and it is one of the genuine advantages of the walk-in height and the big door: you can get inside with a hose or a broom instead of reaching through the mesh. With 387.5 sq ft to keep clean, that matters.
What comes in the box
Short answer: One dog run, one canopy, and one manual — and nothing else, so do not expect bowls, stakes, a floor, or a dog house in the package.
The package list on the maker's page is short: 1 x Dog Run, 1 x Canopy, 1 x Manual. That is the whole delivery. There are no bowls, no feeding rack, no ground stakes, no floor, and no dog house included. Some smaller kennels from the same shop include bowls and a rotating bowl rack; this one does not, so budget separately for anything your dog needs inside the run — water bowl, bed, shade extras, and any anchoring hardware you decide to add.
The manual is included, which is worth mentioning only because assembly of a structure this size without instructions would be a problem. If the manual is unclear, that is the kind of thing only a hands-on test would reveal, and we have not done one.
Price and value
Short answer: It is listed at $1,099.95, marked down from $2,474.89 on the maker's site — a 55% saving on the page — with 30-day returns, but the $2,474.89 figure is the maker's own compare-at claim, not a verified market price.
The price on the maker's page, checked 4 November 2026, is $1,099.95, with a compare-at price of $2,474.89 struck through and "Save 55%" shown on the page. Taxes are included, and shipping is calculated at checkout. The page also shows tracked delivery and a 30-day returns policy: return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund if it is not right.
Two things to keep straight about that price. First, the $1,099.95 is the real, current price on the page — that is what you would pay. Second, the $2,474.89 is the maker's own compare-at claim. We have not verified that this kennel ever sold at $2,474.89, and a compare-at price is a claim made by the seller, not an independent valuation. The saving is real only if the higher price was real. Judge the kennel on whether $1,099.95 is fair for 387.5 sq ft of galvanized steel run with a waterproof roof — not on whether you are "saving" $1,374.94.
For that judgement, the honest comparison is against other large outdoor kennels of similar size, and against what it would cost to build a comparable run from panels. A 20 x 20 ft steel run is a lot of material, and $1,099.95 for the structure plus a canopy is not an outrageous price for the size. It is also not a bargain-bin price: this is a four-figure purchase, and the 30-day return window is the safety net if it arrives and does not suit your yard or your dog.
One more practical note: shipping is calculated at checkout, and the page does not state a shipping price, so the delivered cost may be more than $1,099.95. Check the delivered total before you commit, especially since a package this large and heavy is unlikely to ship free.

What the listing does not tell you
Short answer: It rates the kennel for large dogs up to 66 lbs — low for a run this size — and gives no maximum dog size or shoulder height, no assembly time, no wind rating, and no anchoring hardware — gaps you should close with the seller before buying.
This is the section that matters most for a purchase this size, because the gaps are specific and fixable with one message to the seller.
First, the listing rates the kennel for large dogs up to 66 lbs. That figure is surprisingly low for a run of 387.5 sq ft sold for large dogs — many large breeds weigh more than 66 lbs — and the listing gives no maximum dog size or shoulder height. A buyer with a very large or very strong breed cannot tell from the listing alone whether this run is rated for their dog. Do not guess. Weigh your dog, and if it is over 66 lbs, ask the seller to confirm a higher rating before you order.
Second, there is no assembly time and no statement of how many people assembly needs. A structure nearly 20 ft on a side is a two-person job at minimum, and the listing's "quick and easy" is the maker's wording, not a measured time.
Third, there is no wind rating and no mention of ground stakes or anchoring. A tall, fabric-roofed structure catches wind. If your yard is exposed, ask what anchors it.
Fourth, the product copy is templated, as noted above, and the page carries generic shop marketing and testimonials that have nothing to do with this kennel. We have ignored all testimonials entirely — none of them are evidence about this product — and you should too. Judge the kennel on its listed specifications and price, not on the words around them.
None of these gaps means the kennel is bad. They mean the listing is thin for a $1,099.95 purchase, and a buyer should close them with the seller rather than assume the answers.
Pros and cons
Short answer: The pros are the size, the steel construction, and the slanted waterproof roof; the cons are the low 66 lb weight rating, the fabric rather than solid roof, and the thin listing.
Pros:
- Enormous space: 387.5 sq ft is nearly four times a standard 10 x 10 ft run, with room for a large dog to move, rest, and have a bed or dog house inside.
- Galvanized steel frame: the right material for permanent outdoor use, with rust protection built in.
- Slanted waterproof roof: PE fabric that is waterproof and UV-resistant, tilted so water drains off instead of pooling.
- Walk-in height: 8.9 ft at the peak with a 55.1-inch door, so you can get inside to clean and reach your dog.
- Secure latch: a latch the maker presents as a safety feature, on a door wide enough for large breeds.
- 30-day returns: the page offers a full refund within 30 days of delivery if it is not right.
- Numbers that check out: the 19.7 x 19.7 ft footprint, the 236.2-inch dimensions, and the 387.5 sq ft area are all consistent with each other.
Cons:
- Low weight rating: the listing rates it for large dogs up to 66 lbs, and gives no maximum dog size or shoulder height, so suitability for very large or powerful breeds is unverified.
- Fabric roof, not solid: the roof is a PE canopy, not a rigid panel, with no snow-load or storm rating given.
- No anchoring mentioned: no ground stakes or wind rating in the listing for a tall structure in an exposed yard.
- No assembly time: the maker says installation is quick and easy, but gives no time and no crew size.
- Thin, templated listing: the description still carries a placeholder, and the page's testimonials have nothing to do with this kennel.
- Four-figure price: $1,099.95 is a serious purchase, and shipping is calculated at checkout, so the delivered cost may be higher.
Who should buy it
Short answer: Buy it if you have a large dog, a flat yard of at least 20 x 20 ft to spare, and a need for a secure outdoor space your dog can spend real time in.
This kennel makes sense for owners of large dogs who need a safe outdoor area for part of the day — while at work, for example — and who have the yard space for a structure nearly 20 ft on a side. It also suits owners who want a permanent backyard run rather than a temporary pen: the galvanized steel frame and the size point to something that stays put. If you have already decided your dog needs a roofed run and you have measured your yard, this is the biggest option Luxe Finds sells, and the price is proportionate to the size.
Who should skip it
Short answer: Skip it if your yard cannot fit a 20 x 20 ft square, if your dog is small, if you need a solid roof for heavy snow, or if your dog weighs more than 66 lbs, the listing's stated limit.
Skip this kennel if you cannot fit a square nearly 20 ft on a side with clearance around it — a run this size in a small yard will dominate the space. Skip it if your dog is small or a puppy: it is built and described for large dogs, and the 2.6-inch mesh grid is not designed around small animals. Skip it if you live somewhere with heavy snow or severe storms and need a solid roof with a stated load rating, because this roof is fabric and no rating is given. And skip it — or at least pause — if your dog weighs more than 66 lbs: that is the listing's stated limit, and if the seller cannot confirm a higher rating, that is your answer.
Verdict
Short answer: A genuinely large, well-specified steel run with a sensible slanted roof, fairly priced for its size at $1,099.95 — but if your dog is over 66 lbs, confirm a higher rating with the seller first, and check the delivered shipping cost.
The Heavy Duty Outdoor Dog Kennel with Waterproof Roof, Secure Latch, Chain Link Dog Run for Backyard, 19.7 x 19.7 x 8.9 is what its name promises: heavy duty, large, and roofed. The specifications are consistent, the materials are the right ones for outdoor use, and the slanted waterproof roof addresses the exact failure that ruins most fabric kennel covers. At $1,099.95 it is a serious purchase, but the size — 387.5 sq ft — is serious too, and the 30-day return window takes some of the risk out of ordering.
The reason this is not an unqualified recommendation is the 66 lb weight rating. For a kennel this size, sold for large dogs, at this price, that limit is low — many large breeds weigh more than 66 lbs — and buyers with heavier dogs need the seller to confirm a higher rating. Everything else about the product can be judged from the page. So the verdict comes with a single condition: weigh your dog, and if it is over 66 lbs, ask the seller to confirm a higher rating and the delivered shipping total before you order; if both answers are satisfactory, this is a strong buy for a large dog that needs a secure outdoor home.
Frequently asked questions
How big is this kennel, and how much space does a dog actually get?
Short answer: It is 19.7 ft long, 19.7 ft deep, and 8.9 ft high at the peak, with about 387.5 sq ft of floor area — nearly four times a standard 10 x 10 ft run.
The overall dimensions are listed as 236.2 inches wide by 236.2 inches deep by 106.3 inches high, and the maker states a 387.5 sq ft area for play and relaxation. Those numbers are consistent with each other. You will need a flat area of at least 20 x 20 ft in your yard, plus a little clearance around the structure for access and cleaning.
Is the roof really waterproof?
Short answer: According to the maker, yes — the roof is a waterproof, UV-resistant PE fabric canopy, slanted so water drains off instead of pooling.
The listing describes the PE fabric as waterproof and UV-resistant, with a top-tilted design that prevents water accumulation. We have not hands-on tested the kennel, so we cannot verify the roof's performance in rain ourselves. Note that the roof is fabric, not a solid panel, and the listing gives no snow-load or storm rating.
What dogs is it suitable for — is there a weight limit?
Short answer: The listing says suitable for large dogs up to 66 lbs, with no maximum dog size or shoulder height stated — so if your dog is heavier than 66 lbs, ask the seller before buying.
The maker says the kennel suits large dogs up to 66 lbs, and the door is 21.7 inches wide by 55.1 inches high, but no maximum dog size or shoulder height is given. That 66 lb figure is low for a run this size — many large breeds weigh more — so weigh your dog and confirm a higher rating with the seller if needed, especially for very large or powerful breeds.
What does it cost, and can I return it?
Short answer: It is listed at $1,099.95, marked down from $2,474.89 on the maker's site, with a 30-day return window for a full refund.
The price on the maker's page, checked 4 November 2026, is $1,099.95 with a compare-at price of $2,474.89 shown as struck through. That compare-at figure is the maker's own claim, not a verified market price. Taxes are included, shipping is calculated at checkout, and the page offers tracked delivery and returns within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
