- Prepare the Fabric Mat: Lay the fabric mat flat on a clean surface. Ensure the label on the mat faces upwards.
- Insert Side Pipes: Slide the long side pipes into the sleeves along the longer edges of the fabric mat. Repeat for the short side pipes into the shorter edges. Ensure the fabric is stretched straight and taut.
- Attach Corner Connectors: Connect the long and short side pipes using the corner connectors. Push firmly until they click into place. If a hole is difficult to align, use the hex tool to gently pry the pipe and align it while releasing the ball inside the connector.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintaining your Veehoo Elevated Dog Bed is simple:
- Routine Cleaning: Pet hair and dirt do not easily cling to the tight mesh fabric. For light cleaning, simply wipe the fabric with a damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, the bed can be hosed off with water. Allow it to air dry completely before reuse.
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the fabric for tears and the frame for rust or damage.

7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty connecting pipes/corners during assembly. | Misalignment of pipes or internal locking mechanism. | Ensure pipes are fully inserted into the fabric sleeves. Use the hex tool to gently align the pipe and release the internal ball mechanism in the connector if it's stuck. Apply firm, even pressure. |
| Fabric appears loose or sags after assembly. | Pipes not fully stretched within the fabric sleeves or not properly seated in connectors. | Disassemble and re-stretch the fabric over the pipes, ensuring it is taut before re-connecting the corners. Verify all connections are secure. |
| Pet is not using the bed. | Unfamiliarity with the new bed or preference for existing resting spots. | Place a familiar blanket or toy on the bed. Encourage your pet with treats and positive reinforcement. Allow time for adjustment. |
| Bed wobbles or is unstable. | Legs not fully inserted or screws not tightened. | Check that all four legs are fully inserted into the corner connectors and that all screws are securely tightened with the hex tool. Ensure the bed is on a level surface. |
