4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires two people and approximately 3 hours. Follow the detailed installation instructions provided in the package. Lay out all components before starting.

4.1. Frame Construction

1. Identify and sort all galvanized steel pipes according to their labels or shapes.
2. Begin by assembling the base frame on a flat, level surface. Connect the straight pipes using the provided hardware.
3. Attach the curved roof sections to the base frame, ensuring all bolts are finger-tight initially.
4. Install the reinforced triangular support bars at the corners for enhanced stability.
5. Once the main frame is upright and all sections are connected, progressively tighten all bolts and connections. Do not overtighten.

4.2. Wire Mesh Installation

1. Unroll the hexagonal wire mesh carefully.
2. Starting from one end, attach the wire mesh to the frame using the provided zip ties or connection clamps. Ensure the mesh is taut and evenly distributed.
3. Work your way around the entire frame, securing the mesh at regular intervals. Pay close attention to corners and edges to prevent gaps.
4. Trim any excess wire mesh using appropriate tools, ensuring no sharp edges remain exposed.

4.3. Door Assembly

1. Assemble the door frame according to the instructions.
2. Attach the door to the main coop frame using the provided hinges.
3. Install the lockable latch mechanism, ensuring it operates smoothly and securely.
4. Wrap wire mesh around the door frame, securing it firmly.

4.4. Cover Installation

1. Drape the waterproof and anti-UV PE fabric cover over the top of the coop frame.
2. Align the cover so it provides maximum protection from sun, rain, and wind.
3. Secure the cover to the frame using the elastic buckles or bungee cords, ensuring it is pulled taut to prevent water pooling and wind damage.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your chicken coop and ensure the safety of your animals.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the wire mesh and frame with a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Cover Care: Clean the PE fabric cover as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. In extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow loads), remove the cover to prevent damage to the frame.
• Hardware Check: Annually, or more frequently if exposed to harsh weather, inspect all bolts, nuts, and connections. Tighten any loose hardware.
• Mesh Integrity: Check the wire mesh for any signs of damage, rust, or weak points that could allow animals to escape or predators to enter. Repair or replace damaged sections promptly.
• Ground Stability: Ensure the coop remains stable on its foundation. Re-level or re-anchor if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Coop feels unstable: Ensure all frame connections are fully tightened. Verify that the reinforced triangular support bars are correctly installed. The coop should be on a level surface. Consider additional ground anchoring.
• Door does not latch securely: Check for any obstructions in the latch mechanism. Ensure the door frame is not bent or misaligned. Adjust hinges or latch components if needed.
• Water pooling on cover: Ensure the cover is pulled taut and evenly distributed over the roof structure. Re-adjust elastic buckles/bungee cords to create proper tension and slope for water runoff.
• Wire mesh is loose: Re-secure loose sections of wire mesh with additional zip ties or clamps. Inspect for any broken ties or clamps and replace them.
