Designing the Perfect Dog Run with Artificial Turf

A dedicated dog run gives your pet outdoor access while protecting your main lawn. Here’s how to design one that works.

Dog Run Design Principles

Size Matters

Minimum 100 sq ft for small dogs, 200+ sq ft for large breeds. More space means happier dogs.

Location Considerations

  • Near house for easy access
  • Away from gathering areas
  • Good drainage slope
  • Shade availability

Drainage Planning

Install slightly steeper grade toward drainage area. Consider French drain for multi-dog households.

Product Features to Include

  • Antimicrobial infill: Eliminates odors
  • Perforated backing: Maximum drainage
  • Durable fibers: Handles heavy traffic
  • Secure edges: Prevents lifting and escape

Design Extras

  • Water station hookup
  • Waste station
  • Shade structure
  • Separate entry gate
