2. Safety Information

• Adult Assembly Required: This product must be assembled by adults. Keep children and pets away during assembly.
• Check Connections: Regularly inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Loose connections can compromise the structural integrity of the coop.
• Proper Placement: Place the coop on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping. Ensure adequate drainage around the coop to avoid water accumulation.

4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your chicken coop. It is recommended to have at least two adults for assembly.

1. Prepare the Area: Choose a level, clear outdoor space for the coop. Ensure there is enough room for the full dimensions of the coop (120"L x 40"W x 40"H).
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the longest metal pipes to form the rectangular base of the coop. Use the provided connection hardware, ensuring all bolts are tightened securely.
3. Erect the Side and Roof Frames: Attach the vertical and angled pipes to the base frame to form the side walls and roof structure. Pay attention to the strong connection points and reinforced metal pipes for stability.
4. Attach Wire Mesh: Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh and secure it to the metal frame using the provided clips or ties. Ensure the mesh is taut and covers all open sides and the roof completely to prevent escapes and deter predators.
5. Install Doors: Integrate the three lockable door assemblies into the designated openings in the frame. Ensure the doorlock mechanisms function smoothly and securely.
6. Install Waterproof and Anti-UV Cover: Drape the cover over the designated section of the roof. Secure it firmly to the frame using the attached straps or ties. The sloped design helps shed water and provides protection from sun and rain.
7. Final Inspection: Double-check all connections, mesh attachments, and door locks to ensure everything is secure and stable before introducing animals.

5. Operating Instructions

• Animal Introduction: Once fully assembled and secured, you may introduce your animals. The coop is suitable for chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and small dogs. Ensure the number of animals is appropriate for the coop's size to prevent overcrowding.
• Door Usage: Use the three lockable doors for convenient access for feeding, watering, cleaning, and inspecting your animals. Always ensure doors are securely latched after use to prevent escapes and predator entry.
• Environmental Considerations: While the cover provides protection, consider additional shade or shelter during extreme heat and ensure animals have access to fresh water at all times.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the coop regularly to maintain a hygienic environment for your animals. Remove waste and soiled bedding as needed.
• Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the metal frame, wire mesh, and cover for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Address any issues promptly to ensure the coop's integrity.
• Cover Care: Clean the waterproof cover with mild soap and water. Ensure it is securely attached, especially before anticipated strong winds or heavy rainfall.
• Hardware Check: Re-tighten all bolts and connections annually, or more frequently if the coop is moved or subjected to harsh weather.

7. Troubleshooting

• Coop Feels Unstable: Ensure all frame connections are fully tightened. Verify the coop is on a level surface. If on uneven ground, consider shimming or leveling the area.
• Wire Mesh Sagging: Check if the mesh is properly secured with all clips or ties. Add more attachment points if necessary to keep it taut.
• Water Accumulation on Cover: Ensure the cover is installed correctly with the sloped side facing downwards to allow water runoff. Clear any debris that might be pooling water.
• Doors Not Latching Securely: Inspect the latch mechanism for obstructions or damage. Ensure the door frame is aligned correctly. Adjust hinges if needed.
• Predator Concerns: Reinforce the base of the coop with additional mesh or bury the bottom edge slightly to deter digging predators. Ensure all doors are locked at night.
