Kennel Stacking Kit questions, answered

How many Dakota 283 kennels can one kit connect?

The kit is designed to easily connect two to four Dakota 283 kennels. That makes it useful for boarding and training facilities as well as households with multiple dogs.

What comes in the box?

The Stacking Kit ships complete with two brackets, installation instructions, six stainless steel acorn nuts, six 18-8 stainless steel hex head screws (1/4″-20 thread size, 5/8″ long), and six 316 stainless steel washers for 1/4″ screws with a 1″ outer diameter.

Is it safe to stack kennels with this kit?

The kit provides the brackets and stainless hardware for connecting kennels, but the supplied information does not include weight limits, maximum stack height, or anchor requirements. For safety, follow the included installation instructions and confirm that your kennels, floor, and setup can support the stacked load. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional.

Does the kit work with both CRaTE and G3 kennels?

The product description specifically names Dakota 283 kennels and does not list individual models. The supplied information does not confirm compatibility with every CRaTE or G3 model, so check your kennel model against the installation instructions before purchasing.

Are there weight limits for stacked kennels?

No weight limits are provided in the supplied product information. This is a decision limitation: you will need to assess the total weight of your kennels and their contents, and ensure your setup is stable. Do not assume a limit that is not stated.

Can I stack kennels without the kit?

The kit is the supplied method for connecting two to four Dakota 283 kennels. Stacking without proper connection hardware may not be secure. The kit includes brackets and fasteners intended for this purpose, so use it as directed rather than improvising.

What should I check before stacking?

Review the installation instructions, confirm you have all included hardware, and verify that the kennels are compatible. Also consider the floor surface, clearance above the stack, and access for cleaning and pet handling. The supplied information does not cover these site-specific factors, so use your judgment.
