Troubleshooting
Run feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all bolts and connections are securely tightened. Check that the run is positioned on a flat, level surface. Consider anchoring the run to the ground for added stability, especially in windy areas.
Door is difficult to lock or unlock
Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. Ensure the door frame is properly aligned. Apply a lubricant like graphite powder or silicone spray to the lock components.
Weather covers do not fit properly
Verify that you are using the correct covers for the designated sections of the run. Ensure the frame is assembled squarely, as any deviation can affect cover fit. Adjust the tension of the covers' fastenings.
Small gaps observed between mesh panels
Inspect the connection points between mesh panels. Ensure they are securely fastened according to the assembly instructions. Small gaps may be sealed with additional sturdy wire or ties if necessary, ensuring no sharp edges remain.
