Weather Protection
The PE roof cover provides protection from rain, dust, UV light, and light snow. This allows your pet to enjoy the outdoors in various weather conditions.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: The metal and mesh materials are easy to clean. Use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down surfaces as needed. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Roof Cover Care: Periodically check the roof cover for tears or damage. Clean it with a damp cloth. As noted in safety, remove the cover during heavy snowfall to prevent damage to the structure.
- Hardware Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, clamps, and the door latch to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain the kennel's structural integrity.
- Rust Prevention: While the kennel is made of rust-proof galvanized metal, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can still affect its appearance. Consider applying a rust-inhibiting spray annually for extended longevity.
Troubleshooting
- Kennel feels wobbly after assembly.
- Ensure all connecting clamps and bolts are fully tightened. Verify the kennel is placed on a level surface. Use the provided ground nails to anchor the kennel firmly to the ground.
- Roof cover sags or collects water.
- Ensure the roof cover is pulled taut and all elastic buckles or ties are securely fastened to the frame. Adjust the positioning of the cover to allow for proper water runoff.
- Door does not close or latch properly.
- Check for any obstructions in the door frame or latch mechanism. Ensure the door hinges are not bent or damaged. Verify that the overall kennel frame is square and level.
