Choose a level, clear area for the kennel. Ensure adequate space around the kennel for assembly and access. Consider laying down a weed barrier and gravel for better drainage and to prevent digging.

4.2 Assemble the Base Frame

Connect the bottom frame panels using the provided clips and screws. Ensure all corners are square and connections are tight. This forms the foundation of your kennel.

4.3 Install Wall Panels

Attach the vertical wall panels to the base frame using the clip and screw connection method. Work systematically around the perimeter, ensuring each panel is securely attached to the adjacent panels and the base.

4.5 Install Roof Frame

Assemble the roof frame components according to the diagrams. Lift and secure the assembled roof frame onto the top of the wall panels. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.

4.6 Attach Roof Cover

Drape the weatherproof roof cover over the roof frame. Secure it using the awning connecting buckles, ensuring it is taut and evenly distributed to provide maximum protection from sun and rain.

4.7 Secure to Ground

Use the provided ground fixing spikes to anchor the kennel securely to the ground. This enhances stability and prevents movement, especially in windy conditions.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using the Double Doors

The main entrance features double doors for easy access. To open, disengage both lock mechanisms and swing the doors outward. To close, align the doors and engage both locks to ensure your pet's security.

5.2 Utilizing the Feeder Door

A smaller feeder door is integrated into one of the panels, allowing you to provide food and water without fully entering the kennel. Simply unlatch the feeder door, place or remove bowls, and re-latch securely.

5.3 Security Locks

The kennel is equipped with a double-lock system on the main doors. Always ensure both locks are engaged when your pet is inside to prevent accidental opening and ensure maximum security.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the kennel panels and floor with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely to prevent rust and maintain hygiene.
• Roof Cover Care: The polyester roof cover can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is free of debris to maintain its weatherproof and UV-resistant properties.
• Rust Prevention: While the metal frame has a protective spray coating, inspect for any scratches or chips in the coating, especially in areas exposed to moisture. Apply a rust-inhibiting paint or sealant to these areas to prevent corrosion. Pay particular attention to door hinges and lower sections.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, clips, and lock mechanisms for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain the kennel's structural integrity and security.
• Ground Anchors: Verify that the ground fixing spikes remain firmly in place, especially after heavy rain or strong winds.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty during Assembly: Ensure all parts are correctly oriented as per the diagrams. Do not overtighten screws until all components are loosely fitted, then tighten them progressively. Having a second person assist can significantly ease the process.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check for any obstructions in the door frame or hinges. Ensure the kennel is on a level surface, as uneven ground can cause misalignment. Adjust hinges or panel connections if necessary.
• Kennel Instability: Verify that all panel connections are tight and that the ground fixing spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is soft, consider additional anchoring methods.
• Water Accumulation on Roof: Ensure the roof cover is taut and properly secured to allow water to run off. Adjust the awning connecting buckles if sagging occurs.
