Troubleshooting
Cage panels do not align correctly during assembly.
Ensure all panels are oriented correctly according to the manual and that no debris is obstructing the connection points. Loosen connections slightly if needed, align panels, then re-tighten.
Lock on the door is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. Lubricate the lock with a graphite-based lubricant or a light oil. Ensure the door is properly aligned when closing.
Rust appears on the galvanised steel.
Minor surface rust can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. For significant rust, consider a rust converter suitable for galvanised surfaces, followed by a protective coating. Ensure the area is kept dry.
Roof fabric is sagging or not taut.
Check that the roof fabric is correctly attached to the frame and that all securing points are taut. Ensure water is not pooling heavily, which can cause temporary sagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Assembly is required for this dog cage. Ensure you have a clear, level area for installation. Follow the provided instructions carefully, typically involving connecting the steel panels and securing them together. The lockable door mechanism should be checked for smooth operation after assembly.
Compatibility:
This cage is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most medium to large dog breeds due to its size. Ensure the ground is stable and level before setup. The cage is made of steel and is designed to be a standalone structure.
Care:
To maintain the galvanised steel, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check all connections and the lock mechanism for integrity. The fabric roof should be cleaned according to fabric care instructions, typically with a damp cloth. Ensure the cage is dry before re-assembly or use after cleaning to prevent rust.
