Unroll the fabric around the kennel. Loosely
add a tie wire to the top frame about every 5
feet to keep the fabric from falling down.
Step 10 Stretch the fabric
Starting from the first post away from the
gate, use a hammer to stretch the fabric as
shown. Add tie wires to posts to hold the
fabric stretched. Stretch fabric as tightly as
possible. Be sure all tie wires are on the
same picket (wire) or the fabric will be
crooked. Then stretch and tie to the next
post, until you go all the way around. Don’t
tie the last post (at the gate).
Cut the fabric by
holding the fabric
loosely while you
spin one of the
pickets (wires) out.
Here’s how:
a. Undo the knuckle
(loop) at the top and
the knuckle at the
bottom of the same
picket (wire).
b. Unweave that
picket by spinning it.
Be careful! Wire
ends are sharp.
Install the tension rod
and 5 clips.
Beginning at the
gate opening, attach
a tie wire to every
third diamond
around the top, and
every fifth around
the bottom of kennel.
Note: Attaching tie wires to the bottom is
easier if you temporarily raise the bottom of
the kennel onto bricks, blocks of wood, or the
box the kennel came in.
Step 12 Secure the fabric
Please - for your pet’s safety - train your
pet to become accustomed to his/her new
home. Consult a professional for help.
Remove this picket.
Step 11 Stretch the fabric as tightly as
possible to the last post and select a fabric
