Product description

A boot crate built from aluminium sections and MDF panels, which keeps the weight down enough that one person can lift it in and out of a car rather than leaving it installed permanently.

The front is barred for airflow and sightline, with a single door set into that face. Plastic corner connectors cover the frame joints where the sections meet. Assembly is straightforward and instructions are supplied.

Key features

  • Single front access door
  • Aluminium frame with MDF side panels
  • Plastic corner connectors on the frame joints
  • Light enough to lift in and out of the boot
  • Barred front for ventilation and visibility

Specification

  • Materials: aluminium and MDF
  • Finish: silver frame with dark panels
  • Door: single, front-facing
  • Intended position: car boot
  • Sizes: two available - see the size selector

Before you order

Measure your boot at its narrowest point, not its widest - wheel arches and a sloping tailgate usually decide which size fits, not the floor area. Note also that this crate is not sold as crash-tested and is not presented as offering protection in a collision.

THE ART OF TRAVEL

Secure Space on the Move

A dog car crate gives your dog a defined place in the vehicle instead of a loose seat, and keeps the boot workable for everything else. Sizes, door layouts and fittings vary by model — refer to the specific product page, and measure your boot at its narrowest point rather than its widest before choosing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right size crate for my dog?

Measure your dog's height and length before selecting a crate. Your dog should be able to stand upright, turn around comfortably and lie down fully stretched. As a general guide, the crate should be approximately two-thirds longer than your dog from nose to tail. If your dog is still growing, consider a model with a divider panel that can be repositioned as your dog reaches their adult size.

What is the difference between a dog crate, a dog kennel, a dog run and a dog gate?

A dog crate is a compact enclosed space used primarily for indoor training, vehicle transport where the model is specifically designed for this purpose, or overnight rest. A dog kennel is an outdoor shelter with a roof, designed to give your dog a covered resting area in the garden. A dog run is a larger fenced outdoor enclosure without a covered shelter, providing space for outdoor movement and exercise. A dog gate is a freestanding indoor barrier used to restrict access to rooms, doorways or the area leading to the bottom of a staircase.

Some products in our range combine a kennel and a run in a single unit, offering both a covered shelter and an exercise area in one outdoor structure.

How do I choose the right size kennel or run for my dog?

For a kennel, your dog should have enough room to enter, turn around and rest without feeling confined - generous spacing is preferable to a tight fit. For a dog run, size depends on how long your dog will spend inside and their activity level. Larger breeds and more active dogs benefit from longer runs. All dimensions are listed on each product page to help you compare.

How do I choose the right dog gate for my space?

Our freestanding panel gates require no drilling or wall fixings and can be configured for different indoor openings. The 3-panel gate, measuring 150 cm in total length, suits narrower doorways and areas leading to the bottom of a staircase. The 6-panel gates, measuring 300 cm in total length, suit wider spaces such as open-plan areas or large doorways. The taller 90 cm panel option may be more suitable for larger or more active dogs. These freestanding gates are not intended for installation directly at the top edge of a staircase.

Are your outdoor kennels and runs suitable for year-round use in the UK?

Our outdoor kennels and runs are constructed from galvanised steel, which provides strong resistance to rust and corrosion in wet and cold conditions. We recommend positioning your kennel in a sheltered spot away from prevailing wind and adding appropriate bedding during winter months. Full specifications and material details are available on each individual product page.

Are your products suitable for puppies?

Several crates in our range are suitable for puppies, particularly foldable models that include a divider panel - this lets you reduce the interior space while your puppy is small and expand it as they grow. Our freestanding indoor gates are also well suited to puppies, allowing you to section off areas of your home safely without any installation. For outdoor kennels and runs, we recommend waiting until your dog is older and fully vaccinated before introducing them to an outdoor enclosure.

How long does delivery take?

All orders are prepared and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours by our team (excluding weekends and public holidays). Our delivery times are between 4 and 6 business days. The estimated total delivery time is 5 to 8 business days.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept secure payments via Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay and credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and American Express. All transactions are encrypted and secured through our payment partner to ensure your data is protected

What should I do if my order arrives damaged, incomplete or incorrect?

If your order arrives damaged, incomplete or incorrect, please contact our customer service team and include clear photos of the issue. We will review your request and assist you in accordance with our return and refund policy.

Are products delivered assembled?

To ensure safe transport and prevent damage in transit, most products are delivered flat-packed and require self-assembly. Products that require assembly include assembly instructions. Assembly is designed to be accessible, even without prior DIY experience.
