1. Remove the contents of the carton. Sort and
identify all the pieces described in the Parts
Identification. Remove the Corner Rods from the
loops of the Door Panel and Back Panel.
2. Locate the Bottom Panel (A) and place it flat on
the floor with the hooks extending upward as
shown. Locate the Pan Stop attached to one end.
This is the front of the crate and will serve as your
point of reference.
3. Locate the Side Panel with Door (B) and Side
Panel (C). Lay them flat on the floor, one on each
lengthwise side of the Bottom Panel. The Side
Panel with the Door should be on the right side of
the Pan Stop. The door’s slide-bolt latches will be
facing the floor at this point. The loops on the
short ends of each Side Panel should face
upward.
Lift the long edge of each Side Panel that is
closest to the Bottom Panel and place the long
edge over the hooks of the Bottom Panel. The
long hooks of the Bottom Panel that extend
upward should rest between the second and
third long horizontal wire of each side panel.
4. Using both hands (or with the assistance of a
friend), pull the two Side Panels outward (away
from the Bottom Panel) and upward to form a
“U” shape.
Make sure the second horizontal wire from the
bottom of each Side Panel slides up to connect
inside the upright hooks of the Bottom Panel.

The long hooks of the Bottom
Panel fit around/over the second
horizontal wire of each side panel.
5. Position the Top Panel (D) over the
upright Side Panels with the hooks
facing downward. Connect the hooks of
the Top Panel to the top horizontal wires
of the two upright Side Panels. The middle
“L” wire on the Top Panel should tuck
inside the Side Panel on each side.
6. Position and hang the Front Door Panel
(E). This will go on the open end of the
pet home that has the pan stop attached.
Hang the Door Panel using the two
hangers attached to the top Horizontal
wire. The panel will swing down naturally
into position. The door should be
positioned so that the slide-bolt latches
are on the right side, enabling the door to
open outward from right-to-left.
Finish the panel assembly by lifting the
middle of the Top Panel while pushing
inward on the middle of the Door Panel to
hook the Top Panel’s bent tab around the
top horizontal wire of the Door Panel.
INSERTING THE CORNER RODS
IN THE FRONT
7. Next, you will take two of the Corner Rods
(G) and insert them downward through the
various intersecting loops of the two front
corners.
Your Solutions crate uses an over/under
configuration to increase stability and
security of the crate. Use the guide at the
right, which shows how each panel’s loops
should be placed before inserting the rod
on each side. This configuration should be
the same on both sides of the Door Panel.

8. Position and hang the Back Panel (F)
against the remaining open end of the pet
home, the back, using the two hangers
attached to the top rung. It will swing
down naturally into position.
INSERTING THE CORNER RODS
IN THE BACK
9. Just as in Step 7, take the remaining two
Corner Rods and insert them downward
through the various intersecting loops of
the back corners. Use the guide at the
right, which shows how each panel’s
loops should be placed before inserting
the rod on each side. This configuration
should be the same on both sides of the
Back Panel.
10. Insert the Bottom Pan (H) by sliding it
onto the floor of the pet home from the
front. Secure the Bottom Pan inside the
pet home with the pan stop attached to
the middle front of the Bottom Panel.

NOTES: To protect the finish of your pet home and the bottom pan, use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners
and water. Any coarse scrubbing or abrasive materials could damage the finish.
DO NOT expose the plastic pan to direct sunlight for extended periods of time as this may lead to warping or
damage to the pan.
To help reduce noise, place a piece of carpet or cut a piece from the crate carton and place it inside the crate
beneath the pan.
