4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your VIVIJASON Outdoor Large Dog Kennel.

• Cleaning the Frame and Mesh: Periodically clean the galvanized steel frame and chain link mesh with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Cover: The UV & waterproof cover can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the cover and hand wash with mild soap, then air dry completely before reattaching. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent water accumulation.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all connections, zip ties, and ground anchors for tightness and wear. Replace any damaged components immediately. Check the mesh for any breaks or sharp edges.
• Seasonal Care: In areas with heavy snow, remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural damage. During strong winds, ensure the ground anchors are securely fastened.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your kennel.

• Kennel feels unstable: Ensure all frame pipes are fully connected and secured with clamps. Verify that the ground anchors are driven deep into the soil and are holding firmly. If on a hard surface, consider adding weights to the base.
• Water pooling on the roof cover: Adjust the tension of the ball bungee cords to ensure the cover is stretched tightly and evenly over the roof frame, allowing water to run off. Check that the roof frame is correctly assembled with the intended slope.
• Mesh appears loose or damaged: Re-tighten or replace any loose or broken steel zip ties. If the mesh itself is damaged, contact customer support for replacement options.
• Door not closing properly: Check for any obstructions in the door frame or latch mechanism. Ensure the door hinges are not bent and the frame is square.
• Missing parts during assembly: Double-check the package contents against the list in Section 1.2. If parts are genuinely missing, contact VIVIJASON customer support immediately.
