4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of this large outdoor dog kennel requires careful attention to the provided detailed installation instructions. It is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of components.
- Unpack and Organize: Carefully unpack all components. Lay them out and identify each part using the numbered labels and the parts list in the separate instruction manual.
- Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main frame structure using the galvanized iron pipes and connectors. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten until the entire frame is upright.
- Chain Link Installation: The chain link fencing comes flat and may require significant effort to stretch and attach to the frame. Follow the specific instructions in your manual for attaching the chain link panels, ensuring they are taut and securely fastened to the frame. Pay attention to the fully enclosed wire edges for proper installation.
- Door Assembly: Install the door assembly, ensuring the hinges operate smoothly and the secure lock mechanism aligns correctly.
- Roof Installation: Attach the waterproof cover roof to the top frame. Ensure it is properly secured and stretched to provide maximum weather protection.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and fasteners.

5. Operating Instructions

6. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the kennel regularly with pet-safe cleaning solutions and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check all frame connections, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Chain Link Inspection: Inspect the chain link mesh for any signs of damage, bending, or sharp edges that could harm your pet. Repair or replace damaged sections promptly.
- Rust Prevention: While the frame is galvanized, prolonged exposure to harsh weather or damage to the coating can lead to rust. Apply a protective weathering spray to any areas showing signs of rust or discoloration to extend the product's lifespan.
- Cover Care: Clean the PVC cover with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material. Ensure the cover remains taut to prevent water pooling.
7. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty with Assembly:
Refer to the detailed installation instructions provided with your kit. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and oriented. Assembly is easier with two or more people.
- Chain Link Fabric Twisted/Difficult to Stretch:
The chain link material may arrive flat and twisted. This requires significant manual effort to stretch and attach. Follow the manual's specific steps for tensioning the mesh.
- Door Lock Not Functioning Properly:
Check for proper alignment of the door frame and latch mechanism. Ensure no debris is obstructing the lock. If the lock is broken, contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Rusting or Discoloration on Metal Parts:
Apply a protective weathering spray to affected areas. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent this. Ensure proper drainage around the kennel.
