Troubleshooting
Chicken run structure feels unstable
Ensure all frame components are securely fastened and the run is placed on a level surface. Tighten any loose bolts or connectors.
Water pooling on the roof
Check that the roof is taut and properly attached. Minor sagging might occur over time; ensure it's pulled tight during setup and periodically checked.
Small animals escaping or predators entering
Verify that the hexagonal mesh is intact and securely attached to the frame. Ensure there are no gaps around the base or at connection points. Check the door is securely latched.
