Setup Instructions
The Yaheetech Dog Playpen is designed for quick and tool-free assembly. Follow these steps to set up your playpen:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all panels and connecting rods from the packaging. Ensure all 8 panels (including one with a door) and the necessary connecting rods are present.
- Align Panels: Stand two fence panels upright and align the holes on their vertical edges.
- Insert Connecting Rods: Insert a connecting rod through the aligned holes of the two panels. Push the rod down firmly to secure the connection.
- Repeat for All Panels: Continue connecting panels in this manner until all 8 panels are linked to form your desired shape (e.g., square, rectangle, octagon).
- Secure Shape: For outdoor use, push the connecting rods further into the ground to enhance stability.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Playpen feels unstable or wobbly. | Connecting rods not fully inserted; uneven ground (outdoor use). | Ensure connecting rods are pushed all the way down. For outdoor use, select a level surface or push rods deeper into the soil. |
| Door latch is not engaging. | Obstruction in latch mechanism; door not aligned properly. | Check for any debris blocking the latch. Ensure the door is properly aligned with the frame when closing. |
| Panels are difficult to connect. | Holes not perfectly aligned; slight bending of connecting rod. | Ensure holes are precisely aligned before inserting the rod. Apply gentle pressure and slight rotation to the rod if needed. |
