Is the finish pet-safe?

How much does the unit weigh?
Due to the robust steel construction, the unit has enough weight to stay sturdy, though it is manageable for an adult to fold and carry.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the steel construction is suitable for outdoor use, especially when using the included ground stakes to secure the unit to the earth.
Troubleshooting
Pen panels shifting on slippery floors
Place the pen on a rubberized mat or area rug to provide grip and protect your flooring.
Door latch feeling stiff
Check for any bent wire near the locking mechanism and apply a small amount of non-toxic silicone lubricant if necessary.
Difficulty folding panels
Ensure all panels are aligned parallel before folding; if hinges are stiff, check for debris or paint chips obstructing movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the PawHut playpen involves unfolding the panels and connecting them into your desired shape. To ensure stability, insert the provided ground stakes through the frame feet if you are using the pen on grass. For indoor use, ensure the pen is placed on a non-slip rug to prevent scratching your floors. Maintenance is simple: wipe down the steel panels with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent as needed. Inspect the hinges periodically to ensure they remain free of debris and continue to pivot smoothly.
