Assembly Instructions
Assembly is straightforward but may require some hand strength due to the tight fit of the fabric, which is necessary for proper tension and support.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the metal frame tubes using the provided connectors. Ensure all connections are secure. The frame is designed to be sturdy and may require firm pressure to fit pieces together.
- Attach Fabric Cover: Slide the fabric bed cover onto the assembled frame. The fabric is designed to be a tight fit to provide proper tension for pet support. You may need to apply significant force to stretch the fabric over the final corners of the frame.
- Secure Velcro Straps: Once the fabric is fully stretched over the frame, secure any velcro straps or fasteners to ensure the fabric remains taut and in place.
- Final Check: Before allowing your pet to use the bed, ensure all connections are firm and the fabric is securely attached and taut.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty assembling the frame/fabric. | Fabric is designed to be very taut for support. | Apply firm, even pressure when stretching the fabric over the frame corners. It may require significant hand strength. If needed, have another person assist. Avoid using tools that could damage the frame or fabric. |
| Fabric tearing or showing excessive wear. | Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements (e.g., direct sun, rain) or excessive pet activity. | While suitable for outdoor use, consider bringing the bed indoors during extreme weather conditions or when not in use for extended periods to prolong its lifespan. Ensure your pet's nails are trimmed to prevent accidental tears. |
| Bed is unstable or wobbly. | Frame components not fully connected or placed on an uneven surface. | Ensure all frame tubes are fully inserted into their connectors. Verify the bed is placed on a flat, level surface. |
