Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Playpen feels unstable or wobbly. | Panels not fully connected; uneven ground; insufficient anchoring (outdoor). | Ensure all connecting rods are fully inserted. Move to a level surface. For outdoor use, firmly push ground stakes into the soil. |
| Door latch is not securing properly. | Obstruction in latch mechanism; latch misaligned. | Check for debris in the latch area. Ensure the door is properly aligned with the frame when closing. |
| Pet is escaping the playpen. | Playpen height is too low for the pet; pet is climbing or pushing panels. | Consider a taller playpen variant (e.g., 47" height). Ensure panels are securely connected and anchored. Supervise pets, especially during initial use. |
