Align the top knuckle with the top pin on the door. Adjust the top knuckle as needed, making sure that when the door
swings, the bottom of the door will clear the bottom rail on the ground and that the top of the door will clear the top
rail. Slide the knuckle over the pin and loosely tighten the knuckle. Check once more to ensure the knuckle
placement will allow the door to swing within the opening. Then, use a wrench or socket wrench to tighten the bolts
on the door’s knuckles.
NOTE: At this point, you will begin attaching the chain-link fence. The chain-link fence comes in
one continuous 40’ piece. It is prone to tangle while attaching, but with two people and a little
patience, the fence can applied with minimal complication. The best practice is to unroll the fence
and stretch it out completely to undo any tangling. Then, using two people, lift, pull, and stretch the
chain-link fence around the perimeter one small section at a time. About every four feet, loosely
attach a Large Black Plastic Tie to keep the chain-link in place until it is ready to be fully secured.
With the Gate door open, insert the Eyebolts (P), with the eye to
the outside of the kennel, through the eight holes in the Gate’s
frame (four on each side). Start the Nuts onto the end of the bolts
about 1/2” as shown.
WAIT to tighten all the way.
Next, stand one end of the Chain-Link Fence (L) up against the left side of the Gate frame. Starting at the top, thread
the Vertical Tension Rod (J) down through the Chain-Link Fence, front/back, front/back, through each diamond, while
making sure to pass through the eye of each Eyebolt on the way down. Thread the rod all the way through the last
diamond at the bottom.
