NET ASSEMBLY

Starting with one of the arches, grab one side and ask someone else grab the other end. Together, carefully raise the poles
and insert into the ground stakes (See Fig. 1). Repeat this for the remaining arch so the cage stands upright.
Next, spread the netting evenly over the frame so there is equal parts netting touching all sides of the ground surrounding
the cage.
Finally, Locate the White Support Ropes and select 1 hole in the netting that's in line with the arch. Push the support stake
through this hole so the white ropes and 4 support stakes are outside the cage, then stake each one in the ground slightly
wider than the width of the cage for best support.
NOTE: The cage should look like the image below. You may need to loosen/tighten
cage or support ropes to tweak the angle of the arches.
