Unbend the loop of the knuckle you identified so that it is straight. Locate the corresponding knuckle at the
bottom of the Chain-Link Fence. Unbend that loop. This single “picket” can now be removed. Lift and rotate the
picket until it is completely removed from the fencing.
Once all excess fencing has been removed, insert the second Tension Rod down through the Chain-link Fence and
the Eyebolts on the other side of the gate, as you did in Step 15.
Facing the Kennel, go to the top, left Eyebolt. Push the
“eye” firmly against the Gate Frame. Tighten the Nut past
the scored area of the bolt’s threads. Move down to the
next Eyebolt and repeat. Pulling the Tension Rod against
the Gate Frame as you go, proceed around the Gate
Frame until all eight Eyebolts have been tightened. This
step will tighten the fit of the Chain-Link Fence around
the frame.
After you have unrolled the Chain-Link Fence completely around the frame, you may find that you have several
extra inches of wire that extend past the last set of Eyebolts. This excess must be removed. Pull the Chain-Link
Fence tightly past the Eyebolts to determine where to remove the extra fencing so that the second Tension Rod
can be installed as in Step 15.
To determine how much Chain-Link Fence to remove, slide the second Vertical Tension Rod down through the
Chain-Link Fence so it will pass through the eye of the first Eyebolt. It is the extra Chain-Link Fence on the Gate
side of the Tension Rod that must be removed. Locate and note the top knuckle of the fence on the Gate side of
the Tension Rod. Remove the Tension Rod.
