FAQs
Can I use this playpen on my kitchen floor?
No, this product is specifically designed for soft ground and is not suitable for use on hard floors.
Is the playpen rust-resistant?
It features a durable black powder coating, but it should be stored in a dry place when not in use to maintain its condition.
Can I add more panels to make it bigger?
Yes, because the panels are modular, you can connect additional sets to increase the total enclosure size.
Is it suitable for large dogs?
While the 36-inch height is good for many breeds, it is best suited for small to medium-sized pets. Highly active or very large dogs may be able to jump or knock over the enclosure.
How do I store the playpen when not in use?
Simply remove the drop pins, fold the panels accordion-style, and store them flat in a dry garage or shed.
Troubleshooting
The playpen feels unstable on the ground.
Ensure the surface is level and soft. If on uneven grass, slightly adjust the panel angles to create a more rigid shape like a circle or square.
The door is difficult to open or close.
Check that the panels are standing perfectly vertical. If the frame is slightly tilted, the alignment of the door bolts will be affected.
The drop pins are difficult to insert.
Ensure the panel hinge loops are perfectly aligned vertically. If they are tight, use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the pin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your playpen, align the hinges of two panels and insert the provided drop pin through the loops to lock them in place. Repeat this for all eight panels. Because this is designed for soft ground, ensure you are placing it on level grass or soil. To maintain the finish, wipe down the metal panels with a damp cloth if they become soiled with mud. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the black powder coating. Always inspect the drop pins before use to ensure they are seated correctly.
