We describe a procedure for finding Kaluza-Klein monopole solutions indeconstructed four and five dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. In thedeconstruction of a four dimensional theory, the KK monopoles are finite-actionsolutions of the Euclidean equations of motion of the finite lattice spacingtheory. The "lattice" KK monopoles can be viewed as constituents ofcontinuum-limit four dimensional instantons. In the five dimensional case, theKK monopoles are static finite-energy stringlike configurations, wrapped andtwisted around the compact direction, and can similarly be interpreted asconstituents of five dimensional finite-energy gauge solitons. We discuss thequantum numbers and zero modes of the towers of deconstructed KK monopoles andtheir significance for understanding anomalies and nonperturbative effects indeconstruction.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX; v.2: two references added; v.3: concluding section expanded and more references added (published version
