ASJMR 10x10x6 Outdoor Dog Kennel Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude, and I spend a lot of time testing and putting together pet gear so fellow pet parents don’t have to guess what the box will actually look like. This ASJMR 10x10x6 outdoor dog kennel is a full-size run that promises heavy-duty framing, a waterproof roof, and secure locking. The listing lists the structure as 118.9" x 117.1" x 75", includes a divider, and calls out 10mm metal tubes and a high-density Oxford cloth canopy. In my time with the product notes and real-owner feedback I compiled, a few themes stand out: it’s spacious and can be very sturdy once properly assembled, but assembly and finish can be frustrating unless you plan ahead.

What it is / first look

On paper this is a 10x10x6 foot (listing dimensions: 118.9"L x 117.1"W x 75"H) outdoor dog kennel/run from ASJMR. The listing describes an anti-rust galvanized steel construction built from 10mm thick metal tubes, multi-screw fixed panels, reinforced flooring nails, and a high-density Oxford cloth top cover that’s UV-proof and water resistant. The product includes a divider and a door with a 180-degree rotating lock and a 360-degree small bottom door intended for feeding access. The seller ships the product in two packages and the listing recommends waiting until you have both before starting assembly.

Out of the box: the listing and owner reports say the kennel arrives in multiple, heavy boxes. One of the product images and the listing color field list the run as black, so expect a black finish on the frame and fencing.

What’s included (from the listing)

• Frame and fence panels sized to the listed dimensions (118.9" x 117.1" x 75").
• High-density Oxford cloth canopy (described as UV-proof and waterproof in the listing).
• Divider (listed under included components).
• Door with 180-degree rotating lock and a small 360-degree feed/access door at the bottom.
• Hardware and assembly instructions (two-package shipment).

In daily use

From the owner notes I reviewed, the kennel behaves very differently before and after correct assembly. Several owners report that once fully tightened and anchored, the run is sturdy: it held up through snow storms, wind, and winter weather for some owners, and one owner was able to add polycarbonate panels and use it successfully in blizzard conditions. Another owner said the canopy held up through winter and still looked like new after a cold season.

Fit by pet size and use case

Small and medium-sized dogs

The listing specifically says the kennel provides ample space to accommodate both small and medium-sized dogs. Owners confirm that the footprint is roomy; one owner noted the 10'x10' or 100 sq ft size left space for two XL dog houses and still provided more than 5'x10' of free room. That same owner also reported using the latches plus additional padlocks for extra security because their dogs are escape artists.

Large dogs and multiple animals

The listing text calls out small and medium-sized dogs. Multiple owners did use the run for multiple pets — one owner said it housed five dogs — and others repurposed the run for chickens or as a catio. If you plan to keep several large, highly active dogs together, note that the listing wording emphasizes small and medium dogs and owner setups often included two adults for assembly and extra reinforcement (hardware cloth skirts, zip ties, or added panels).

Other animals and conversions

Owners report using the run for chickens and as a catio. One owner specifically said they used it for a flock and bought additional units. Another mentioned converting it with finer gauge hardware cloth at the base as a skirt to stop digging predators and adding polycarbonate panels for weather protection. Those conversion ideas come from real owner experience in the notes, not the product copy, and are useful if you plan to adapt the run for poultry or cats.

Daily maintenance and weather exposure

The listing describes the canopy as UV-proof and water resistant; owners confirm the canopy can keep sun and rain off pets and one owner reported the canopy survived a North Dakota winter. Cleaning is straightforward: owners said they remove fecal matter regularly and can access the run via the main door and the small feeding door described in the listing. Expect the canopy to be fastened by multiple straps as the listing notes, and owners confirm those straps help keep the canopy secure in wind.

Materials & build quality

The listing’s materials and construction calls are fairly explicit: 10mm thick metal tubes for the frame, multi-screw fixed panels to resist impact, reinforced flooring nails, and a high-density Oxford cloth top cover. The listing also uses the phrase “anti-rust galvanized steel” in the title, which signals a corrosion-resistant finish as part of the product positioning.

What owners saw in practice

Several owners echoed the listing’s claim that the run is sturdy once assembled, with multiple notes about the completed structure standing up to wind, rain, and snow. Those same owners repeatedly say the structure feels flimsy until fully assembled and all bolts are tightened—so that in-progress wobbly phase is expected by design.

However, not every owner had a perfect finish. A few called out paint chips and rust on parts out of the box, and some had holes or drilled alignment issues where poles didn’t sit flush in their connectors. One owner specifically said parts arrived with rust and paint scraped off, and another flagged misaligned drilled holes around the roof brackets. Those finish and fit issues were the main quality drawbacks recorded in the notes.

Assembly tools and time

Assembly takes time. Owners report a broad range for assembly duration, from about six hours for two people to a longer multi-day build when done mostly solo. The product includes simple tools (small hex wrenches and a tiny wrench) according to owner notes, but people recommend having stronger tools on hand: a ratchet or power drill bits to speed up the many bolts and nuts. Owners warned that an inexpensive torch wrench or overtightening can bend the larger metal parts, so use caution when applying torque.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top priority when I recommend gear, so here’s what matters from the listing and owner notes.

• Door security: The listing calls out a 180-degree rotating lock and a small 360-degree bottom door for feeding access. Owner notes indicate two latches are included and several owners added padlocks for extra security, especially with dogs that try to escape. One owner described the door as "not good but works" and used zip ties to prevent the door from scraping, so check the door alignment during assembly.
• Escape & digging risk: The listing and owners do not state a built-in dig-proof base. Multiple owners who keep chickens or dogs added finer-gauge hardware cloth at the base as a skirt and anchored it into the ground to prevent digging predators. If your dog digs, plan for a ground deterrent addition; the listing doesn’t include an integrated anti-dig barrier.
• Material corrosion/finish: The title says anti-rust galvanized steel, but a few owners received parts with paint scraped or surface rust out of the box. Inspect parts on arrival and contact the seller if you find rusted pieces — owner notes praise the seller’s responsiveness when parts or hardware were missing or damaged.
• Canopy durability: The listing promotes a UV-proof, waterproof Oxford cloth canopy. Owner experiences vary: some reported the canopy survived multiple seasons and winter storms, while another owner said their canopy ripped but was replaced via customer service. Expect to check canopy straps regularly and plan for potential replacement over time.
• Assembly hazards: Owners repeatedly recommend two people to assemble the run and suggest being careful with parts that feel flimsy until tightened. There are many small nuts and bolts; keep them organized and be mindful of dropped hardware on grass. The listing promises detailed instructions, and owners say to follow them closely—missteps in bracket placement cause significant rework.

Who this is for / who should skip

I break this down by the common shopper scenarios I see in the notes and listing language.

Great fit if you:

• Want a roomy outdoor run: the listed dimensions (118.9" x 117.1" x 75") make this a true 10'x10' footprint with about 6' of height.
• Are housing small to medium-sized dogs: the listing specifically calls out those sizes and owners confirm ample space for small and medium pups.
• Plan to assemble carefully or have two people to help: many owners needed two people and several hours to get the structure right.
• Like a canopy to block sun and rain: the listing’s high-density Oxford cloth canopy and owner reports of weather resistance make this a good choice for shade and basic rain protection.
• Are willing to customize: owners successfully added hardware cloth skirts, polycarbonate panels, zip ties, and padlocks to adapt the run for digging predators, weather, or extra security.

Skip or reconsider if you:

• Need a pre-built, quick-to-install product: the run is a large assembly project that feels flimsy until fully tightened, so it’s not a fast weekend pop-up unless you have two experienced helpers.
• Expect a flawless finish out of the box: some owners received parts with paint scrapes or surface rust, and a few had misaligned holes. If surface perfection is a must, this can be hit-or-miss based on the owner notes.
• Have a heavy-duty large-breed single animal expectation: the listing emphasizes small and medium dogs and while several owners used it for multiple dogs or chickens, the product copy doesn’t explicitly rate the run for very large or high-impact large-breed containment.

Verdict

As someone who assembles gear and thinks through real-world ownership, here’s the short version: the ASJMR 10x10x6 outdoor dog kennel is a spacious, well-featured run that can be very sturdy and weather-resistant when assembled correctly and when owners apply a bit of follow-up work (padlocks, hardware cloth skirts or panels). The listing’s structural calls—10mm metal tubes, multi-screw panels, reinforced flooring nails, and an Oxford cloth canopy—are reflected in owner experiences of long-term weather survival and strong post-assembly stability.

That said, plan for a long assembly, have two people available, bring stronger tools than the included wrenches, and inspect incoming parts for paint chips or rust. The door mechanism works but isn’t perfect for every owner’s application, so plan to reinforce with zip ties or padlocks if you have an escape artist on your hands.

Check before you buy (checklist)

• Confirm the footprint and height match your needs: listing dimensions are 118.9" x 117.1" x 75".
• Have at least two adults and a ratchet or power drill bits to speed assembly.
• Plan for 6+ hours of assembly; some owners took longer when working alone.
• Inspect incoming boxes for paint chips or rusted parts and keep photos to share with customer service if replacements are needed.
• If you’re concerned about digging predators, plan to add finer-gauge hardware cloth as a skirt and anchor it into the ground (owners have done this successfully).
• Consider adding padlocks or secondary fasteners if you have an escape-prone pet; the listing includes two latches and a rotating lock but owners added more security.
