FAQs
What material is the dog kennel made of?
The kennel is constructed from sturdy steel, ensuring durability and safety for your pets.
Can the door be installed on either side?
Yes, the hinged door has a versatile design and can be installed on the left or right side to suit your needs.
Is this kennel suitable for small dogs?
While suitable for all dogs, its large size makes it ideal for medium to large breeds. Small dogs may require additional considerations for security within the large space.
Does the kennel come with a cover?
No, the kennel does not include a cover. It is recommended to provide additional shade or shelter for your dog, especially in direct sunlight or inclement weather.
What are the overall dimensions of the kennel?
The overall dimensions are 200 cm (Length) x 400 cm (Width) x 100 cm (Height).
How do I clean the kennel?
You can clean the steel bars with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Is assembly difficult?
The kennel is designed for easy assembly. However, due to its size, having a second person to assist can make the process smoother.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not close or latch properly
Ensure the gate is aligned correctly with the frame and that no debris is obstructing the latch mechanism. Check if the latch components are securely fastened.
Kennel appears unstable
Verify that all assembly bolts are tightened securely. Consider anchoring the kennel to the ground using stakes or other appropriate methods for increased stability.
Rust spots appearing on the steel
Light rust can often be removed with a steel wool pad and then protected with a metal-safe coating. For extensive rust, consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint designed for outdoor metal.
Dog is digging under the fence
While the kennel is designed for containment, determined dogs may attempt to dig. Consider burying the bottom edges of the kennel slightly into the ground or adding a skirt of wire mesh around the base.
