Attach the Mesh Cover: Drape the HDPE mesh cover over the assembled frame. Align the zippered doors and ensure the mesh fits snugly over the entire structure.
Position the Crop Cage: Place the assembled crop cage in your desired garden location.
Secure with Ground Stakes: Use the four U-shaped ground stakes to firmly anchor the crop cage to the soil. Bury the stakes deep into the ground to provide stability and wind resistance. The ground frame should also be deeply buried in the soil for added stability.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Periodically inspect the mesh for debris. Clean the mesh cover with a soft brush and mild soap solution if necessary, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Storage: At the end of the growing season or when not in use, disassemble the crop cage and store it in the included portable storage bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of the materials.

Inspection: Regularly check the frame for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all connections remain secure.

Troubleshooting

Cage Instability: If the crop cage feels unstable, ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted into the soil and the base frame is buried as recommended. In areas with strong winds, consider adding additional anchoring points or weights.
Difficulty with Assembly: If you encounter difficulty during assembly, double-check that all poles and connectors are correctly aligned according to the instructions. Ensure no parts are forced, as this may cause damage.
Mesh Damage: In case of minor tears or holes in the mesh, repair with a suitable mesh repair kit to maintain protection. For significant damage, contact customer support for replacement options.
