Dog Kennel Vertical Post Mount — Piranha Lox® Locking System for Round Posts in Kennels, Outdoor Enclosures, and Veterinary Environments
The Kennel Gear Vertical Post Mount brings Piranha Lox® locking technology to round vertical post installations — giving kennels, outdoor enclosures, animal shelters, and veterinary environments a secure, height-adjustable mounting point for bowls, pails, and other compatible Kennel Gear accessories on posts up to 1 1/4" in diameter. The mount clamps to the post, the included surface mount receives any compatible insert block, and other accessories lock in and release in one motion without tools.
Key Features
- Piranha Lox® dog kennel vertical post mount — surface mount accepts the insert block built into all compatible Kennel Gear bowls, pails, and accessories for a secure, tool-free lock and release
- Fits round vertical posts up to 1 1/4" diameter — metal, wood, and plastic post materials; swap the included stainless steel hose clamp for a larger size to accommodate posts beyond 1 1/4" diameter
- Height adjustable — slides and repositions along the post to suit dogs of different sizes or enclosure configurations
- No permanent modification required — clamps to the post without drilling or fasteners into the post material
- Anodized aluminum construction — corrosion resistant for indoor and outdoor kennel environments
- Compatible with all Kennel Gear universal insert mounts — stainless steel bowls with yokes, pails with insert blocks, and any accessory with a compatible insert block
Vertical posts are a common structural element in outdoor kennels, shelter runs, and veterinary enclosures where neither a flat wall surface nor a horizontal kennel bar is available as a mounting point. The vertical post mount fills that gap — using the post itself as the anchor and the Piranha Lox® surface mount as the fixed attachment point for compatible Kennel Gear bowls, pails, and other accessories. Height adjustment is continuous along the post length, giving operators the flexibility to set the bowl or pail at the right position for the animal in the run without any modification to the post or the enclosure structure.
For chain link fence installations, see the Chain Link Fence Mount. Compatible accessories include the 4 Quart Stainless Steel Pail with Insert Block and the full range of Kennel Gear stainless steel bowl and pail systems. For full compatibility details, refer to the Kennel Gear System Fit and Compatibility Guide.
