10 ft x 10 ft Dog Kennel Cover

Model DK1010PCS

Roof cover and frame for a 10 ft x 10 ft chain-link dog kennel (kennel not included). The frame is made to fit a range of kennels, so it has some flexibility built in; it can look a little odd until the clamps are set at all four corners.

Setup tips

The cover assembly is 9 ft 7 in square. Kennels sold as 10 x 10 vary by a few inches depending on how the panels are clamped together, so a small adjustment at the kennel or at the clamps is normal.

  1. Measure first. Check the outside measurement across the top rails in both directions before you start.
  2. Square up the kennel. Loosen the panel clamps, pull the panels square, and adjust the overlap at the corners so the top rails sit where the frame lands. Moving the panels an inch or two is easier than forcing the frame.
  3. Set all four clamps loosely first. Hang the frame on the rails with the clamps finger tight, center the ridge so the overhang is even on both sides, then tighten. The clamp only needs to grip the rail; do not overtighten.
  4. Check the ridge. Both ridge pipes should be fully seated in the 3-way fittings and both A-frame ends should be the same height. Uneven ends make the cover look twisted.
  5. Cover on last. Drape the cover, hook the corner bungees first, then work the sides evenly. Snug is right; stretched to the limit pulls the frame out of line.
  6. Two people make it a 15-minute job.
  7. Weather. Take the cover off in high wind or snow. The frame is not built to carry a load.

Assembly steps

  1. Lay out the canopy parts on the ground.
  2. Assemble one end of the A-frame: attach a clamp on both sides to the kennel cage, then insert the pipes and the 3-way fitting.
  3. Repeat at the other end, then join the two ends with the ridge pipes (the 54 inch swaged pipe joins the two 57.25 inch pipes).
  4. Drape the cover over the frame and attach it with the ball bungees. Set all four clamps before tightening.
