3. Attach Chain Link Panels: Securely attach the chain link mesh panels to the assembled frame using the provided hardware (e.g., wire ties, clamps). Ensure the mesh is taut and evenly distributed.
4. Install the Door: Integrate the door panel into the designated opening in the frame. Ensure the hinges operate smoothly and the latch mechanism aligns correctly.
5. Install the Roof Cover: Drape the 420D Oxford fabric roof cover over the top of the frame. Secure it firmly to the frame using the integrated straps or grommets. Ensure the sloped design is oriented correctly to prevent water accumulation.
