FAQs
What are the external dimensions of the cage?
The external dimensions are 2.75 meters in width, 4 meters in depth, and 1.92 meters in height (W x D x H).
Is the cage suitable for all types of weather?
The galvanised steel frame is weather-resistant. The polyethylene roof provides shelter from sun and rain, but may require maintenance or additional protection in extreme weather conditions over time.
How is the cage secured?
The cage features a lockable latch system on the gate for security.
Can this cage be used for larger birds?
Yes, the spacious design makes it suitable for use as an aviary for larger birds.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is made of high-quality galvanised steel.
What is the material of the roof?
The roof is made of 100% polyethylene.
Is this cage suitable for animals that dig?
While the cage provides an enclosed space, animals that dig may require a solid base or reinforcement around the perimeter to prevent escape.
Troubleshooting
Cage wobbles or feels unstable
Ensure all frame connections are tightened securely. Check that the cage is placed on a level surface. For added stability, consider anchoring the frame to the ground.
Gate latch is difficult to operate
Clean any debris or dirt from the latch mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure the gate is properly aligned with the frame.
Polyethylene roof shows signs of wear
Inspect for tears or holes. Small punctures can sometimes be repaired with appropriate outdoor sealant tape. For significant wear, consider replacing the roof section.
Animals are escaping
Verify that all sidewalls are securely attached and there are no gaps. Ensure the gate is fully closed and the lock is engaged. For smaller or more determined animals, consider adding a skirt around the base to prevent digging out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Unpack all components and identify them using the provided manual. Secure the galvanised steel frame pieces together, followed by attaching the chicken wire sidewalls. Finally, install the polyethylene roof and attach the lockable gate. It is recommended to assemble on a flat, level surface.
Compatibility: This cage is ideal for chickens, hens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small to medium-sized ground-dwelling animals. It can also function as an aviary for larger birds. Ensure the floor type is suitable for your specific animals; for burrowing animals, consider adding a solid base or reinforcing the ground.
Care: Regularly inspect the galvanised steel frame for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially at connection points. Clean the polyethylene roof with mild soap and water to maintain its integrity and appearance. Ensure the lockable latch system remains free of debris and functions smoothly. Periodically check the chicken wire for any loose or broken sections.
