They make a rectangular version that would serve your purpose better than the triangular party sail. I will need to purchase a rectangular version as well since the triangle didn't effectively block low afternoon sun. However whatever version u choose will certainly be more attractive than a tarp and will also allow air to flow through. Use snap locks to attach to dog run.

It won't last for your kennel run. More like coated paper, and says "temporary" on the bag. I would go for the tarp.

Shade is shade. If the tarp is between the sun and the ground you will get shade. Just remember, the closer to the ground, the more heat that can build up under the shade. How tall is the kennel fence? The Coolaroo piece is like but different material from a basic blue tarp. Very nice.

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

There are also very nice, open weave durable shade sails available. Would be cooler for your kennel, but not waterproof. That's what I have on my deck, and it's lovely.

This is the roof system only, consisting of a tarp over a open frame. There is nothing with this roof that closes an open kennel, it is basically for shade only, not security. Anything that climbs could get under tarp and into kennel. The frame "legs" slip into the top round poles of whichever dog kennel you buy. We have an ASPCA kennel which does not have a closed top. We closed it with fencing to use as a chicken coop since we have birds of prey all around. I checked out the AKC kennels, too, which are open topped. There probably are closed top kennels, you'd have to research them. This is the roof system only, consisting of a tarp over a open frame.

Definitely NOT for dogs! Their claws will makes some many leaks you could not even count them all. You need a solid surface no vinyl of any thickness will last long. You could try lining it with a 6 Mil Polyethylene Sheeting but that will cost more then the pool and 4 mil will be too thin. I heavy duty tarp might hold up as well if you trim their nails regularly. They cost a lot less ($15-20 for a tarp versus $50 for 6 Mil Polyethylene Sheeting) since they come is smaller sizes then typical Visqueen rolls which are often large in the width you will need and have built-in reinforcement that make medium or heavy duty tarps difficult to tear. You do want a similar 5 mil plus thick tarp if you use one. Definitely NOT for dogs! Their claws will makes some many leaks you could not even count them all.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner. I will tell you that the corners do hang out further than the center of the shade cloth and there is some stretch to the material in and of itself.Whatever the measurement is , I would allow an extra six inches in the pole settings and buy at least two adjustable straps to mount it with. You might want to check out Harbor Frieght. Also, a slight pitch will help you get leaves, etc off the top of the shade in a much more easy manner than a flat top. Good luck.

I have 4 sides and have configured them into a square to create a crate/pen (without a roof). If you describe how you plan to configure it and what your plan for it's use it that would be helpful, plus how big is your dog and how determined and strong is it?

I've got the control box in my garage. I have the twisted line that is setup to run out of my garage to the perimeter loop which is single strand. As stated, the part that is twisted allows the dog to run over that area and not get corrected. This way my dog can run around my entire house. If you are doing a large run of 47 acres I would definitely upgrade wire. I think I used 14 gauge. The stuff that comes with this kit is very light duty. This fence is one of the best things we ever did for our pup. It's so nice to just let her out and not have to worry about her ever leaving the yard. I've got the control box in my garage.

The canopy is 10' x 10' so it should cover half your kennel. Use the sides of the cover frame that attach to the kennel on the front and back and the peak of the cover go from the side to the middle. I don't see any problem.

we have a 16x20 ft tarp that we slightly fold over about 2 ft. that gives us about 3 ft in front of the tent as an entrance outside of the screened in area. you definitely need a large tarp for this tent even though it may look ridiculous when you fold it out :)

Kind of! I'm not sure what my model is but the problems I had were the eyelets were not the same as on the old one and they did not line up with the wall panels. So what I wound up using was paracord laced thru the eyelets and around the frame. The roof has a couple of about 8" panels down each side and the eyelets are in that. So with it installed the panels are about 6" from the frame so there is a gap there, but the roof covers all that and it hangs over the sides about 6". The ends have a rope going thru it that you pull tight and that sucks the ends down (kinda like the string on a laundry bag). To hold the rope ends down I used bungee-cords tied around the feet and so far that seems to work. That's about all I've got, hope it helps.

All by itself the tent is not completely watertight. Testing with a brand-new tent showed that a small amount of water got in. Very good for a single-layer tent, but since I wanted an absolutely dry tent in the worst conditions, I have added a 10x12 tarp. 8 extra stakes holds the tarp down, 4 on each end. To hold the tarp to the tent, I added 2 large grommets to go over the stakes at each end of the tarp, meaning, actually, the sides. Result is a very dark and somewhat stuffy but absolutely dry tent. Oh, one more thing, I had to reinforce the tarp fabric where I put the large grommets on, by putting on a couple of layers of duck tape first before cutting the grommet holes.

It is made with tent like poles , I was thinking of doing the same thing on mine to make it last longer in the weather conditions and sun . It should work if the tarp is not too heavy and if you secure it well.

I use a 10 x 18 tarp and, tuck all edges under itself and not just the tent, so that no part of the tarp is visible around the outside floor edge of the tent. Tucking it under itself will further help keep water from pooling under the tent if it rains.

This is not the correct product for what you want to do (at least as inferred by your question). Search for a pet "trolley" such as this one: Four Paws Silver Heavy Weight 100 Foot Dog Trolley Exerciser Find the appropriate length main cable to tie off between your trees, then the appropriate length cable that attaches to the dog to cover the height of the main cable and a couple of extra feet for slack.

clips are to shingles, and will rust over time. IF you do as they show it was plenty to do the whole length. If you run straight on gutter it wont work right. It is not that powerful. Hope this helps you

This might work for strapping down tarps if you always use the same tarp on the same flatbed with the same load. The cord is of good quality and should tolerate weather well. But the logistics of having a permanent cord looped through grommets to attach to tie-down hooks would be slow and hard to adjust. I should probably mention that it is hard to tie the cord to itself (like using a square knot to tie two ends together). It is best to use a crimping tool to crimp a metal staple to hold the two ends together.

you need a 10 x 15 ft tarp to fit exactaly. You may want to get a slightly larger one for the footprint.
