2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the straight metal pipes to form the rectangular base of the cage. Ensure all connections are snug.
3. Install Vertical Posts: Insert the vertical support pipes into the base frame connectors.

5. Operating Instructions

Using your MAGIC UNION Outdoor Chicken Cage is straightforward:

• Access: Use the lockable door for easy entry and exit. Always ensure the door is securely latched when animals are inside to prevent escape and protect against predators.
• Animal Placement: Gently guide your poultry or pets into the enclosure. The spacious interior allows for exercise and natural behaviors.
• Ventilation: The ample mesh fence design ensures good air circulation, providing a dry and ventilated living condition for your animals.
• Shade and Shelter: The water-resistant cover provides essential shade from the sun and protection from light rain.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your chicken cage and ensure a healthy environment for your animals.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the mesh and frame with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
• Cover Care: Clean the water-resistant PE cover as needed. In winter, remove any heavy snow accumulation to prevent damage to the frame. Store the cover indoors during extreme weather or prolonged periods of non-use to prolong its life.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and cable ties for tightness. Inspect the mesh for any tears or damage that could compromise security. Check the ground stakes to ensure they remain firmly in place.
• Rust Prevention: The galvanized metal frame is designed for outdoor use, but regular inspection for rust, especially at joints, is recommended. Touch up any affected areas with rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
