Check Kennel Alignment
For the best roof fi t, the kennel panels should be
set up as illustrated below (1A). The kennel should
also be squared, which means that each kennel
corner is at a 90 degree angle.
Using the measuring tape, measure the kennel
1.
diagonally from corner to corner. If your
measurements are less than or equal to one
half inch (13mm) from each other, your kennel
is square.
If your measurements exceed one half inch,
2.
adjust the kennel so that each corner is close
to a 90 degree angle. Measure the kennel again
and continue to make adjustments until the
kennel is square.

Assemble Ridge Frame Corners
Gather (Quantity):
(2) Upright Tubes
(2) Swedged Tubes
(2) Elbows
(2) Left Upright Clamps
(2) Right Upright Clamps
(4) Small Carriage Bolts
(4) Nuts
Start on the outside of the kennel at the gate
1.
panel. Take one left and one right upright
clamp, two carriage bolts and two nuts and
2A
loosely attach the clamp to the center of the top rail of the kennel
(2A). The bolt should be attached to the clamp so that the nut is
facing the outside of the kennel.
Important: For proper roof alignment, the area of the clamp
that will hold the upright tubes must be in the center of the
kennel. Measure the length of the kennel to determine the
center and ensure that the upright tube will be centered.
Take one elbow and insert it into the end of one upright tube. Insert
2.
one of the swedged tubes into the other end of the elbow (2B).
Place the tube and elbow assembly into the clamp so that the pin
3.
on the elbow is pointed to the outside of the kennel (2C). Loosely
tighten the clamp so that the tube is secure and let the assembly rest
against the kennel. Do not fully tighten the clamp until the rest of
the frame is assembled.
Repeat Steps 1 – 3 on the opposite side using the remaining components.
