DIY Custom End Cover Kit
Beat the heat and the cost of full end caps. Our DIY Custom End Cover Kit lets you shape standard tarps to your open-end kennel roof for a snug, ventilated fit—without trapping heat or paying for pricey replacements.
Why it’s better
- Ventilates by design: Leave a controlled gap at the peak or sides to let hot air escape.
- Fast DIY fit: Clip, shape, and secure with included tarp grabbers and ball bungees.
- Budget-friendly: One tarp makes two end covers.
What’s included
- 1 Tarp (cut or folded to create two ends)
- 14 Tarp Grabbers
- 30 Ball Bungees
How it works
- Position: Hold tarp to the kennel roof end. Decide where you want the vent gap.
- Grab: Attach tarp grabbers along the curve/edge to match your roof profile.
- Secure: Use ball bungees through the grabbers to fasten to the frame.
- Fine‑tune: Adjust spacing to keep it tight while preserving the ventilation gap.
Fits most open-end kennel roofs with curved or straight profiles. Great for summer cooling, quick installs, and affordable replacements.

I completed the install in less than 45 minutes! Watched the video and well very easy. The shipping so fast! the product works just as explained will see now how it holds up this winter in our well above average snow falls each year here in the Black Hills of SD. Very pleased with how all products work and install so easily. I’m most happy to extend a strong review and would tell anyone I know this is a very good company with well designed products that are so necessary to care for our outdoor dogs. Thank you Sincerely.

It’s helpful to have the video show how to install. The only problem I encountered was spacing the tarp grabbers. I tried to eyeball to space and realized I used the wrong reference so my spacing is off. I thought it might be a good idea to include 2 extra tarp grabbers. Thank you for a good product!
