Securing to Ground
NOTE:It is recommended that the Dog House be staked to the ground if it is to be located in a windy area.
Your Dog House can be secured to ground by placing stakes in the four stake holes.
Stakes are not included.
To secure to ground use a utility knife to cut through the resin X located in each corner. Insert one stake into each X. Use a rubber mallet to drive stakes into ground.

Use care when using knife. Wear protective gloves to avoid hand injury. Do NOT try to cut completely through resin with a single cut, but rather, score resin with repeated cuts until blade cuts through.
