Troubleshooting

• Issue: Coop feels unstable.
  Solution: Recheck all frame connections to ensure they are fully engaged and tightened. Verify the coop is on a flat, level surface.
• Issue: Water pooling on the roof cover.
  Solution: Ensure the roof cover is stretched taut and securely fastened with all elastic straps. Adjust the positioning if necessary to allow for proper water runoff.
• Issue: Animals attempting to escape.
  Solution: Inspect the entire wire mesh for any gaps or loose sections. Secure any identified weak points. Ensure the door latch is fully engaged when closed.
• Issue: Rust appearing on metal parts.
  Solution: While the frame is galvanized for rust resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause issues. Clean any rust spots with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or sealant.
