Assembly Guide for Feandrea Octagonal Fabric Dog Playpen
- Prepare the Frame Sections: Connect the T-shaped connectors (A) to the short tubes (D) to create the horizontal segments for the top and bottom of the playpen. You will create several segments of D-A-D-A...
- Insert Bottom and Vertical Bars: Lay the fabric enclosure (E) flat. Insert the short tubes (D, including those with joints) into the bottom fabric sleeves. Then, insert the long vertical tubes (B) into the vertical fabric sleeves. Connect these tubes using the T-shaped connectors (A) as you go, forming the basic octagonal structure. Repeat this step until all pieces are assembled and the playpen starts to take shape.
- Install Adjustable Bars: To finalize the assembly, install the two adjustable bars (C) into the designated slots at the top of the playpen. These bars help to stabilize the top frame.
Frame Structure Details
The frame is constructed from 19mm diameter PVC tubes, connected by robust, stable, and durable fittings.

Playpen is unstable after assembly
- Ensure all PVC tubes are fully inserted into the connectors.
