Assembly and Set-Up Instructions: Medium Modular Elevated Canopy Model
(Polyethylene)
Assembly
Screws and caulk required to assemble your Modular Elevated Canopy Pet Patio
Pottyare provided. Complete the assembly of the potty in close proximity to
where you intend to place the unit.
1. Place the 2 modules of the box frame (labeled
“Front” and “Back”) so that the Front Module
is facing you and the Back Module is
positioned behind it. Please note: polyethylene
weight support blocks have been attached to
the bottom of the modules to give the tray
bottoms additional support for large or
multiple dog weight.
2. Slide the two modules together so that there is
no visible space between the modules. Using
a Phillips head screw driver, attach the center
brace of the Back Module to the center brace
of the Front Module by inserting the 4 “Center
Brace Screws” .

3. Using one of the “Module Attaching Screws”,
attach the right side of the Front module to
the right side of the Back module. This screw
is inserted at an angle into the pre-drilled
holes in the modules (Photo 3).
4. In a similar fashion, attach the left side of the
Front module to the left side of the Back
module.
5. Apply caulk from the tube provided to the seam between the Front and Back
modules to prevent any urine from seeping through this seam. Allow caulk to
dry completely before proceeding with Set-Up in next section.
6. During the assembly of the Plexiglas panels described below, do not leave any
of the individual panels unsupported before the side braces are inserted. The
Plexiglas panels can crack if they are left unsupported by the side brace. Also
exercise caution in handling the panels since the edges are sharp. During the
assembly process, each panel should be positioned in such a way so that the
shorter piece of Plexiglas slides inside the box frame and the longer piece of
Plexiglas slides outside the box frame. The top of the frame of each panel
should rest on top of the corresponding side brace.
7. Position the panel labeled “Panel 2” on the left
side of the Left Module.

8. While holding this panel in place, slide the “Left
Panel Brace” onto the panel so that the two
pieces of Plexiglas on the panel fit snugly into
the grooves of the brace and the top frame of
the panel rests on top of the brace. (Photo 6).
9. Then, position the panel labeled “Panel 1” on
the left side of the Front Module again making
sure that the two pieces of Plexiglas fit snugly
into the grooves of the brace.The left side of
the unit is now assembled.
10. Position the panel labeled “Panel 3” on the
left half of the back side of the Left Module.
Take two of the “Side Panel Screws” provided
and using a Phillips head screw driver, screw
the back pole of “Panel 2" to the left pole of
“Panel 3" using the two pre-drilled screw
holes.
11. Slide the “Back Panel Brace” onto “Panel 3"
as described above.

right side of the back module. Using two “Side
Panel Screws”, attach the back pole of “Panel
5" to the right pole of “Panel 4". Slide the
“Right Panel Brace” onto Panel 5 and position
the “Panel 6" on the right side of the front
module to complete the assembly of the right
side.

pre-drilled screw holes, attach the “Canopy
Braces” to the top of side panel frames.These
angled support braces help prevent rain and
snow from collecting on the units’ canvas
cover.
18. Using the snap fasteners affixed to the box
frame and the canvas cover, snap the cover in
place so that the Doggy Solutions logo is

Please note: If the potty is left open to the elements, please replace the litter as
soon as possible if it becomes saturated so that the potty can continue to function
as designed.
Set Up
1. Place your Pet Patio Pottyin as protected an area as possible so as to avoid
unnecessary exposure to environmental elements (i.e rain, snow and wind).
Polyethylene “feet” have been attached to the bottom of the potty to assure
that the bottom of the box frame is not allowed to sit on a moist surface.
2. Purchase a litter product of your choice. A clumping style kitty litter is
recommended because it makes clean up easier. Also, a litter that has odor
control properties can be very beneficial, particularly for those potties set up
indoors. We recommend either Tidy Cats Scoop for Multiple Cats with Tidy Lock
technology for antimicrobial odor control or Dr Elsey’s Precious Cat Ultra. With
the trays removed from the frame, distribute a generous layer of litter around
the blocks and over the entire bottom surface of the box.
3. Using the “Handle Screws” provided, attach two handles to each of the trays.
The trays are pre-drilled to facilitate handle attachment.
4. With the handles facing upward, insert the
trays in the box frame The four trays should
be oriented in such a way that the handles are
positioned along the outside edge of the box
rather than in the center of the box. If you
have ordered synthetic K9Grass as the
substrate and are receiving two double sized
trays, then the trays should be positioned so
that the handles are on the left and right sides
of the potty.
5. If you have decided to use gravel as the substrate in the trays: Obtain gravel
from your local landscape supply center or home supply store such as Home
Depot. For small dogs it is typically best to use pea gravel that is 1/2” in
diameter and for larger dogs gravel that is ¾” in diameter is probably most
appropriate. This gravel may also be called river rock. Do not use decorative
stone that has sharp edges. Each standard size tray (this is the tray size used
in the medium size model when four trays are provided) requires approximately
0.16 cubic feet of gravel and each double sized tray requires about 0.32 cubic

feet of gravel. A common size bag of gravel available at most garden centers
contains 0.5 cubic feet. Two such bags will provide enough gravel to fill the four
standard size trays or the two double-sized trays with some left over.
6. Evenly distribute the gravel over the perforated polyethylene barrier in each
tray to a depth of about ¾”-1".Spray the gravel with a small amount of the
Training Spray provided. Reapply as necessary.
7. If you have purchased synthetic K9 Grass to be used as the substrate in the
potty, insert one piece of synthetic grass into each tray of the Pet Patio Potty.
Spray the grass with a small amount of the Training Spray provided. Reapply
as necessary. See Maintenance Instructions for cleaning procedures to be used
for the K9Grass.
