Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Assembly: The product is delivered flat-packed. You will need a cordless drill and basic hand tools. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a flat, level surface.
- Placement: Always position the kennel on a firm, level base like paving slabs or a concrete foundation to ensure the door frame remains square over time.
- Care: While the wood is pressure-treated, we recommend applying a water-repellent wood preservative every 1-2 years to maintain the appearance and longevity of the timber.
- Ventilation: Ensure the run area is kept clear of debris to maintain proper airflow for your pet.
