Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires two people. Wear the provided gloves during assembly to protect your hands.

Step 1: Prepare the Area

Choose a flat, level outdoor area for the enclosure. Clear any debris or obstacles from the chosen site.

Step 2: Assemble the Base Frame

Connect the horizontal and vertical galvanized steel pipes to form the rectangular base of the enclosure. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten bolts until the entire frame is assembled.

Step 3: Install Wall Panels

Attach the chain link mesh panels to the vertical frame pipes using the provided clamps. Ensure the mesh is taut and securely fastened to prevent gaps.

Step 4: Install the Door Panel

Integrate the door panel into the designated opening in the frame. Secure the hinges and ensure the door swings freely. Install the upgraded door lock mechanism as shown in the image below, ensuring it latches securely.

Step 5: Assemble the Roof Frame

Construct the slanted roof frame using the appropriate galvanized steel pipes. This design helps prevent the buildup of rainwater or snow.

Step 6: Attach the Roof Cover

Drape the waterproof and UV-resistant roof cover over the assembled roof frame. Secure it firmly to the frame using the provided bungee cords or ties, ensuring it is taut to prevent sagging and water pooling.

Step 7: Final Tightening and Inspection

Once all components are in place, go back and fully tighten all bolts and connections. Perform a final inspection to ensure the enclosure is stable, all panels are secure, and the door operates correctly.

Operating Instructions

• Access: Use the metal gate for entry and exit. Always ensure the gate is securely latched when a pet is inside.
• Placement: Position the enclosure in a shaded area if possible, especially during hot weather, even with the roof cover.
• Supervision: While the enclosure provides a secure space, always supervise your pets, especially during initial use or extreme weather conditions.
• Multi-purpose Use: This enclosure is suitable for various small to large animals, including dogs, chickens, ducks, and rabbits, providing a safe outdoor space.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the enclosure floor and mesh panels with pet-safe cleaning solutions and water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Roof Cover Care: Periodically check the roof cover for tears or damage. Clean off any accumulated leaves or debris to maintain its waterproof and UV-resistant properties.
• Hardware Check: Annually, or more frequently if needed, inspect all bolts, clamps, and the door latch for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose hardware.
• Galvanized Steel: The galvanized steel pipes are designed for durability. Clean them with a damp cloth as needed.

Troubleshooting

• Enclosure feels wobbly: Ensure all bolts and clamps are fully tightened. Verify the enclosure is on a level surface.
• Door not latching properly: Check for any obstructions around the latch mechanism. Ensure the door frame is aligned correctly. Adjust hinges if necessary.
• Roof cover sagging/collecting water: Re-tighten the bungee cords or ties securing the roof cover. Ensure the roof frame is correctly assembled with the intended slant.
• Rust spots appearing: While galvanized steel is rust-resistant, minor surface rust can occur in harsh conditions. Clean with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting primer if necessary.
