Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Hohuqeri Metal Chicken Coop. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

Step 1: Prepare the Base Frame

Lay out the base frame components on a flat, level surface. Connect the horizontal pipes using the provided connectors and secure them with bolts. Ensure all connections are tight.

Step 2: Install Vertical Supports and Roof Structure

Attach the vertical support pipes to the base frame. Then, assemble the roof structure by connecting the angled pipes. Carefully lift and secure the roof structure to the vertical supports. The frame is constructed from high-quality galvanized steel pipes for durability.

Step 3: Attach Wire Mesh

Unroll the PVC coated hexagonal wire mesh and attach it to the frame using the provided zip ties. Start from one end and work your way around, ensuring the mesh is taut and securely fastened to all frame components. The small gaps in the mesh enhance safety against predators.

Step 4: Install Waterproof Cover

Drape the waterproof and UV protection cover over the designated roof sections. Secure the cover using the integrated straps or bungee cords to the frame. Ensure the cover is stretched tightly and the roof slope allows for effective water and snow runoff.

Step 5: Secure the Coop to the Ground

Use the provided ground anchors or reinforcement nails to firmly secure the base of the coop to the ground. This step is crucial for stability and to prevent the coop from being moved by strong winds or animals.

Step 6: Install Door

Install the lockable steel door according to the instructions. Ensure it swings open and shut smoothly and can be securely latched to protect your poultry.

Operating Instructions

• Placement: Position the coop in a suitable outdoor area, ideally with some natural shade and good drainage.
• Animal Capacity: This extra-large coop is designed to comfortably house 25-30 chickens, or other small animals such as ducks, rabbits, or geese.
• Access: The walk-in design and tall door allow for easy access for feeding, watering, and egg collection.
• Security: Always ensure the door is securely locked when animals are inside to prevent predator access.
• Environmental Protection: The waterproof and UV protection cover shields animals from harsh weather conditions, including intense sun, heavy rain, and snow.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the coop regularly to maintain a hygienic environment for your animals.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. Although designed to be anti-rust, extreme conditions or prolonged exposure can affect it.
• Mesh Integrity: Inspect the PVC coated wire mesh for tears or loose sections. Repair or reinforce as needed to maintain security.
• Cover Condition: Check the waterproof cover for rips or wear. Ensure it remains securely fastened and provides adequate protection.
• Ground Anchors: Verify that ground anchors remain firmly in place, especially after heavy rains or strong winds.
