- Tighten zip ties F at all remaining joints to ensure the cage frame is stable and secure.
- Place the Standing Rails G inside the coop for animals to perch on.
Step 5: Install the Roof Cover H

Step 6: Secure with Ground Nails I

4. Product Features and Operation
- Gravity Auto-lock Doors: The coop features an automatic gravity door lock mechanism on its five doors. This design helps ensure doors close securely, preventing accidental openings and keeping animals safely contained.
- Enhanced Security: For additional security, carabiners (J) are provided to further deter animals from opening the doors. Attach these to the door latches as an extra measure.
- Weather Protection: The included roof cover (H) is made from silver-white polyester with a UV protective coating, offering comprehensive protection against sun, rain, and snow. Its extended hem design helps prevent elements from easily entering the coop.
- Predator Prevention: The cage features a narrow grid gap of 1.6 inches, designed to keep pets safely inside and prevent attacks from wildlife.
- Comfort Rails: Standing Rails (G) are included to provide comfortable perching spots for chickens and other birds within the enclosure.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: The foldable design allows for easy disassembly and movement, facilitating regular cleaning of the pet's living area.
- Rust Prevention: The metal frame is treated with a rust-resistant coating. Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of wear or damage to the coating and address as needed to prolong product life.
- Cover Care: Ensure the waterproof cover is securely attached, especially during adverse weather. Clean the cover as necessary to maintain its protective properties.
- Ground Anchors: Regularly check the ground nails (I) to ensure they remain firmly in place, especially after heavy winds or rain, to maintain cage stability.
6. Troubleshooting
- Assembly Difficulty: If connecting clips or hooks are tight during assembly, gently use pliers to adjust them. Ensure all hooks face inwards for proper connection.
- Door Security: While the gravity auto-lock provides primary security, it is recommended to use the provided carabiners (J) on all doors to prevent animals from potentially manipulating the latch.
- Stability Issues: Ensure all zip ties (F) are tightened at every joint and all ground nails (I) are fully inserted into the ground. For very soft soil, consider additional anchoring methods.
