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 carabiners and bungee cords. I bought some camo bungee cords here on amazon. The bungees work out well because the give some flexibility in the wind. I started by planning out the connection at the house side, where I have 3 of them attached to a set of upright posts. At the end away from the house I was able to use posts attached to the fence, and spanned the gap with the bungees. But you have to plan it out or they won't hang right.

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application.I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

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.)

I mounted the solar panel to the exterior of my wood fance using a L shape braket and screwed the light on the inside of the wood fence, you can get creative!

I think it ought to work. However, speaking from other experience I think you could do it simpler. Just use plastic standoffs like I used to use for my electric fence for horses and such. If there was interference from the fence just go higher with pieces of plastic pipe.

Hi Julie... One of the best uses I've found is for connecting my "side room" enclosure to my van where I do exactly that...pieces are on the base of the crossbars on the van and connect to/with various spots on the tent enclosure...holds almost too well and I ended up splitting it in half lengthwise and into 1" pieces...be careful to follow instructions and let sit for at least 24 hours before stressing...especially on the fabric side...clamping in place while the glue is setting up seems to really help... have fun...Ric

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

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.

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.

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.

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

I attached one of those dog fences to the front. the bottom door opening is right below the top door opening and I surrounded the whole front with the dog gate (in a semi-circle) and then put mesh on the top. I think you would have to cut the bottom side open if you wanted a run on the hutch side.

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

I don't know if this would work. Ours is set at a very low distance and doesn't go off until the dog is right on it, so it might work. If you just needed one section of it, you could twist the wires on the rest of the circle and have just one area be live

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.
