Setup Instructions
1. Unpacking and Component Check
Carefully unpack all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the included parts list are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact customer support.
2. Assembly Process
The HEASON chicken coop features a tube insert design and snap-pin parts for quick assembly. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are provided in the separate Installation Manual (PDF) linked here. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling the larger components.
- Frame Assembly: Connect the galvanized steel tubes using the tube insert and snap-pin mechanism. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Wire Mesh Installation: Attach the PVC-coated hexagonal mesh wire to the frame. Use the provided fasteners to secure the mesh tightly, preventing gaps.
- Tarp Installation: Secure the removable PE tarp to the top of the frame. The spire design helps prevent water accumulation.

Operating Instructions
1. Animal Confinement
The coop provides a spacious and secure environment for various small animals, including poultry, ducks, rabbits, geese, turkeys, and puppies. Ensure the door is always securely latched to prevent animals from escaping and to protect them from external threats.

2. Weather Protection
The removable PE tarp offers protection against harsh weather conditions, including rain and sun. Its waterproof and UV-resistant properties help maintain a dry and comfortable environment inside the coop. Periodically check the tarp for any damage and ensure it is securely fastened.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
The coop is designed for easy cleaning. The galvanized steel frame and PE tarp can be wiped down with water and a wet cloth. For deeper cleaning, a mild, non-toxic detergent can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
2. Inspection
Regularly inspect the coop for any signs of wear or damage. Check the integrity of the wire mesh, the security of all frame connections, and the condition of the tarp. Address any issues promptly to maintain the coop's safety and durability.
3. Seasonal Care
During periods of heavy snow or strong winds, ensure the tarp is securely fastened and clear any accumulated snow to prevent damage to the structure. In extreme weather, consider additional anchoring for enhanced stability.
Troubleshooting
1. Loose Connections
If the frame feels unstable, check all tube insert and snap-pin connections. Ensure they are fully engaged and secure. Re-tighten any fasteners if necessary.
2. Damaged Wire Mesh
In case of tears or holes in the wire mesh, repair or replace the affected section promptly to maintain animal safety and predator protection. Small tears can often be mended with wire ties or repair kits.
3. Tarp Issues
If the tarp is collecting water or appears loose, verify that it is properly stretched and secured to the frame. Check for any tears that might compromise its waterproof capabilities. Replace the tarp if it is significantly damaged.
