BRACING YOUR BOX-KAT FOR OUTDOOR USE

The Box-Kat is designed for outdoor use, but wind can be a factor. To keep the unit securely in place, we recommend using an anchoring system such as gallon water bottles, sandbags, or cinder blocks. Simply place them on the inside half of the L-shaped support braces. If you’re parked on soil, garden stakes are an excellent alternative.

Proper ground preparation is also essential for optimal performance. Ensure the soil is as level as possible, and trim any weeds or grass in the area. A flatter surface will improve stability and enhance the effectiveness of your Box-Kat setup.

USING THE BOX-KAT WITH YOUR DAILY DRIVER

Each Box-Kat kit includes one set of wing-nut screws designed specifically for customers who use their vehicle regularly. Instead of using push-in fender clips at one of the panel connection points, simply install the wing-nut screws in that section during assembly.

This creates a quick-access point that can be easily opened and closed without tools — perfect for getting your car in and out of the barrier with minimal effort. Just loosen the wing nuts to move the panels aside, then re-tighten to restore full protection when you’re parked.
