Add Fence Fabric

3. Connect the fabric to the gatepost by clipping the tension rod to the post (7C). Secure all 5 clips.

Beginning at the gate opening, attach a tie wire to every 3rd diamond around the top
(10A) and every 5th diamond around the bottom (10B) of the kennel. Use any extra tie
wires around the bottom for extra security.

Note: Attaching tie wires around the bottom is easier if you temporarily raise the bottom of the kennel
onto bricks, blocks of wood, or the box that the kennel came in.

Important: Please, for your pets safety, train your pet to become accustomed to his
new home. Consult a professional for help.
