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 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.
