- Prepare the Area: Choose a level, stable outdoor location for the kennel. Clear any debris or obstacles from the area.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the galvanized steel frame tubes using the snap-together mechanism. Ensure each connection is secure and fully engaged. Refer to the diagram for proper orientation of vertical and horizontal supports.
- Attach Chain Link Panels: Securely attach the chain link mesh panels to the assembled frame using the provided hardware (e.g., wire ties, clamps). Ensure the mesh is taut and evenly distributed.
- Install the Door: Integrate the door panel into the designated opening in the frame. Ensure the hinges operate smoothly and the latch mechanism aligns correctly.
- Install the Roof Cover: Drape the 420D Oxford fabric roof cover over the top of the frame. Secure it firmly to the frame using the integrated straps or grommets. Ensure the sloped design is oriented correctly to prevent water accumulation.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your PawHut dog kennel and ensure a safe environment for your pet.
- Cleaning the Kennel: Regularly clean the chain link panels and frame with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Roof Cover Care: The 420D Oxford fabric roof is waterproof and UV-resistant. Clean it periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure it remains securely attached to the frame.
- Hardware Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and clamps for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain the kennel's structural integrity.
- Rust Prevention: The galvanized steel is designed to resist rust, but in humid environments, occasional inspection for rust spots is recommended. Treat any rust promptly to prevent spread.
