Step Secure the Fabric
8Beginning at the gate opening, attach a tie wire to every 5th diamond around the top (8A) and every 3rd diamond around the bottom (8B) of the dog 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 dog kennel onto bricks, blocks of wood, or the box that the dog kennel came in.
Tip: Zip Ties can be added for extra reinforcement.
Pet may escape or become trapped in loose chain link fabric. Be sure that the fabric is stretched tightly and securely. If properly stretched, there should not be any slack in the fabric.
