Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two people. Follow these steps carefully.

- Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and lay them out, identifying each component against the package contents list.
- Assemble Wall Panels: Connect the galvanized iron pipe panels using the provided clamps or connectors. Start by forming the base perimeter, then add vertical panels. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Door Panel: Integrate the door panel into the desired position within the wall structure. Ensure the hinges operate smoothly and the door latch aligns correctly.
- Construct Roof Frame: Assemble the roof frame components according to the diagrams in your specific manual. Attach the roof frame to the top of the wall panels.
- Attach Waterproof Canopy: Drape the waterproof canopy over the assembled roof frame. Secure the canopy using the provided straps or bungees, ensuring it is taut and covers the entire roof area to prevent water pooling.
- Install Feeding Door (if applicable): If your model includes a separate feeding door mechanism, install it into the designated opening. Place the stainless steel bowls into their holders.
- Final Inspection: Double-check all connections, bolts, and latches to ensure they are tight and secure. Confirm the door opens and closes freely and the latch engages properly.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the kennel panels with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. The feeding bowls should be cleaned daily.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts, clamps, and latches for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain structural integrity.
