Would this work in shading part of a 15 ft long x 6 ft wide kennel run and attach all 3 sides to the chain link of the run ... or does it need to be attached to trees or the house, poles or other objects to be effective? Would I be better off buying a...

you could tie the already attached ropes at each of the corners to anything even the kennel but each side is only 9 feet (9x9x9'). It depends on your sun movement during the day whether this will work for you or if your dogs will be left in the scorching sun with no shade at some point during the day. Check it out during the day and then decide what is your best solution or shape you will need. Wolf Judy

I used this product in the interior sheathing of my roof. I created an air space with 2 in styrafoam strips...don't see why that wouldn't work in your scenario...just need it to breathe a bit....jmho

Yes. I used the kennel for a chicken coop and made a wire roof on it prior to attaching the cover. Worked great!

The shade could be attached to the wall of a house or garage using "screw hooks" but they need to be very secure to hold the shade in windy conditions. Same with poles; they would need to be braced very well.

i think it would work great. someone told me that putting this on our fiberglass boat, especially the top part of the boat that is exposed to sun constantly, would prevent any type of fiberglass slivers. so far, it's working for us. good luck.

We attached it between the roof of the house and the roof of the garage using hooks that screwed into the eaves. The area worked out perfectly and we really like the shade. No equipment necessary other than 4 screw hooks and some muscle.

Seems like you have tried everything. However. I had a thought. Put it in a sunny place without the roof for a while. Later if he goes in add the roof after a few days. My dog was kenneled trained and found him at the human society. If your dog doesn't like kennels or crates that is the problem.

I have a 10' x 20' portable garage with 1 3/8 Poles from another manufacturer. I put the shelter logic canopy right over the top of the other canopy, and it worked just fine. The Shelter Logic Canopy is supposed to work on 2" frame poles. There is plenty of extra flaps on the sides on the Shelter Logic Canopy. You can feel very confident that the Canopy will work fore you.

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

It needs to be connected to some sort of electric fence. (When I say fence, electric tape is really what it is. Look at HorseGuard fencing to see what I mean.) I use this with horseguard tape for horses and it give just enough of a zap to keep them out of areas they shouldn't go and also along my existing fencing, to keep them off of the real fence. I've been really happy with it. However, it's not strong enough of a shock for large dogs. (Horses have much less hair and are super sensitive where dogs are not as much unless they get zapped on their ear.)

Normally you would have anchor poles and the shade you are about to purchase would be a replacement. But since you are asking, you need to either have anchor poles installed for a shade sail or you can build a frame to support it and attach lines to the corners and run them to anchors you put in the ground like used on a tent, and pull the lines tight, and use a pole in the center to give a peak. Good luck and enjoy, they work great.

It attached to the little tykes swing we have in direct sunlight But Getting It adjusted properly and STAY on, was impossible.... it's behind the garage door

Definitely, This could be attached to chain link using either velcro strips or with pliable metal strips that could hook one to the other. You won't have much privacy though until you get something growing on it. This is a great trellis - well worth the $$, sturdy and quite large.

Unfortunatelly, I don't think it would work. The material is very stretchy and soft and it need some (even small) canopy to rest on, to create a bigger sunshade.

We live in Miami and have fairly windy days in the summer with heavy rain. We have installed our canopy using aircraft cable to trees at the perimeter of our yard, tightened up with turnbuckles and removable using lockable steel caribiners at the canopy corners. We just didn't want the look of giant poles, so our canopy looks more like a floating sail overhead. :-) Also, if you use a post you actually need to sink the poles deeper than 3 feet...the rule of thumb is 1/3 below ground, 2/3 above. So for a sail mounted 8' high, you would need a 12' pole with 4' buried. Steel pipe 3.5-4" is recommended, especially for bigger sails in a windy area.

The clips attached to the shade will attach to the chain, but from my experience, it will does not sit where it keeps the sun off the swing. Pretty useless.

Unfortunately, the swing manufacturer did not sell chain if you needed additional length. So I went to Lowe's and bought a similar size chain, cut to the proper length x2, with connectors/links. Then I sprayed it with a matching Rustoleum paint.
