Quick answer
Use Enventur Tie Downs to securely anchor your Diggs crate in a vehicle. Follow the steps below for proper installation and safety.
Why tie-downs matter for crate safety
A loose crate can shift during sudden stops or turns, risking injury to your dog and passengers. Enventur Tie Downs are designed specifically to work with Diggs crates for crash-tested performance.
What you need before starting
Make sure you have the Enventur Tie Downs kit and a compatible vehicle with anchor points (e.g., cargo hooks or seat belt anchors). The straps are weather-resistant and adjustable, so they fit most setups.
How to install Enventur Tie Downs on your Diggs crate
- Position the crate: Place your Diggs crate in the desired location in the vehicle, ensuring it is centered and stable against the seat or cargo area. Common mistake: placing the crate too close to the door or on an uneven surface. Always choose a flat, secure spot.
- Attach the straps to the crate: Loop each tie-down strap through the crate's designated anchor points (usually at the base corners). Thread the strap back through the buckle and pull tight, but leave enough slack to connect to the vehicle. Checkpoint: ensure the strap is not twisted and the buckle is oriented for easy adjustment.
- Secure the straps to vehicle anchors: Hook the free end of each strap to a solid vehicle anchor point (e.g., cargo tie-down rings or seat belt anchors). Pull the strap to remove slack, but avoid over-tightening that could deform the crate. Common mistake: using non-rated hooks or attaching to flimsy trim pieces. Only use factory anchor points.
- Test for movement: After all straps are attached, push the crate firmly from all sides. It should not shift more than an inch in any direction. Adjust straps as needed. Checkpoint: if the crate moves noticeably, re-tighten or reposition the straps before driving.
- Secure excess strap length: Use the slider on the strap to manage any extra length, preventing it from dangling or getting caught in doors or moving parts. Common mistake: leaving long loose straps that can trip passengers or interfere with seat operation.
