Troubleshooting
The roof does not sit flush.

Water pooling on the roof.
Ensure the kennel is placed on a slightly inclined surface or adjust the feet to create a minor pitch so water runs off effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and can typically be completed in under an hour with basic hand tools. Before installation, ensure the selected location is relatively flat; while the feet are adjustable, a stable base reduces strain on the wood joints. Compatibility is based on the dog's size; at 116x89x79cm, ensure your dog has enough space to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside. To care for the unit, wipe down the interior with mild soap and water monthly. Inspect the exterior glaze annually and apply a non-toxic, weather-resistant wood treatment as necessary to prevent the pine from drying out or absorbing moisture.
