How to Install a Heavy Duty Dog Kennel

Learn how to install this Heavy Duty Kennel to give your pup the space the deserve and need to enjoy the outdoors!

**Make sure to always have a shaded area for your pup during the hot summer months**


Our friend recently needed an outdoor space for her pup to enjoy so we constructed the new Heavy Duty Commercial Grade Kennel from Menards in her backyard and it was SO easy. It truly took about 3 steps to set up. As a tip, because the kennel is heavy duty, you will need two people to carry and assemble the panels.


The kennel features a protective powder coating so it won't rust overtime and can withstand the outdoor elements. The 6 gauge and 1- 5/8" Diameter of Frame Tubing help reinforce the kennel and are what sets it apart from other lighter duty kennels.


Items Needed:

Step 1: Cut Panel Clamps Packaging from Panel

The first step is to cut off the zip ties that are attached to the panels and unscrew the panel clamp. Keep all of the pieces because you will need them.


Step 2: Lay Out Panels into Configuration

Next, lay out your panels so you can easily pull the panels up and connect them together. This helps get your spacing right too.


Step 3: Assemble Panels with Clamps

After you have your layout, line of two panels together and put one panel clamp on each side. Put the screw between the two clamps and tighten (slightly for now) with a wrench. Make sure to the put screw facing OUT so that if you dog jumps, he doesn't hurt his/her paw on the end of the screw. You will use two clamps to connect each panel--one at the top of one towards the bottom. See the third picture above for placement. Once you're finished, then go back and tighten all of the screws so they are secure with your wrench.


Install on Cement Too!

Before we decided on a final location, we set up the kennel on the cement patio and it works great there too! The 1in leg clearing allows for easy clean up too. All around, a great kennel!

I came across a helpful discussion on Study in Germany while reading content shared by Education Vibes. Germany really stands out for its strong public university system, research-focused education, and affordable tuition compared to many other countries. The information about eligibility, language requirements, and student life is useful for anyone seriously exploring higher education options in Europe. It’s good to see such practical insights being shared for students planning their academic journey abroad.

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. mens leather biker jacket

A BJJ Gi is the essential uniform for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, designed to handle intense grappling, constant pulling, and tough training sessions while still feeling comfortable enough to roll in for hours. A good BJJ Gi usually includes a durable yet lightweight cotton or pearl weave jacket, reinforced stitching at stress points, and tapered pants with knee reinforcements so they don’t rip when you shoot, shrimp, or play guard. The fit is typically more tailored than a traditional karate or BJJ Gi , with a shorter jacket skirt and closer sleeves to make it harder for opponents to grab and easier for you to move. Most BJJ Gis also come with a drawstring or rope waistband for a secure fit, and they’re…
