I am so glad you made this video. I just finished assembling this enclosure - also on my own and the same size as yours, and I thought it was just me thinking it was really quite difficult! I’m more used to very clear IKEA instructions - this needed a LOT of figuring out. Parts had different names to the paperwork and the same clips were spread through different boxes making it hard to find everything - not intuitive but worth it in the end!
Glad it was helpful, but like you say its worth the effort for sure.
Absolutely agree with everything you wrote in your comment. Especially frustrating was the "different names to the paperwork" ... UGH!
Thanks very much . I was totally confused as had no instructions. Clarified where it all goes . Nice presenter voice too 😊
Glad it was helpful! ;)
Thanks for this. Ive just purchased a 6ft by 15ft one for my cats. Im going to put it together myself simply due to the fact that the quotes i had for help were stupid money.
Best of luck with it, just take your time.
@@SpectrumGeeks I ended up employing a carpenter i have used previously, who also loves flatpack stuff.
We only had one hiccup, when we put two roof panels on the sides and couldnt figure out why there was a huge gap at the top.
Apart from that, it went really well. No arguing and i only swore once when i pinched my finger between the poles. He has some special abilities when it comes to their instructions though.
Omlet woefully under estimate how long it takes though. My 6ft by 15ft run (taking into account attaching it to the tunnel systems and window box) took us 5 hours. A further 3 and we had completed around 70% of the outdoor cat tree.
There is no way i could have done it alone - even with two of us it was a challenge to hold everything in place and get the clips on at times.
I recently bought the balcony version for my cat. I'm usually pretty good with instructions but the installation book and online video were terrible in terms of which clips to use & what direction. Your video is very clear, esp the clips.
Glad I could help!
We have the same one: Still have to build it 😂. Thanks for your video.
No problem, its great once built.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful and honest video! I also bought the run on sale, ha, and knew this was going to test me even though it seems to be a simple and intuitive product. Partner and I are watching this together knowing it's going to be a mission. Appreciate it!! :) and good luck with your chooks. Ours is for a bunny but maybe chickens next ... if we can build this haha :)
Glad it was helpful! It is a good product, I was just frustrated by some of the simple lack of clarity in some areas of the instructions, but it may be just me :)
Chooks are doing well, will do a follow up video soon, they are now all laying.
@@SpectrumGeeks I just spent the whole day building it. Your tips were really helpful, because I agree it's a well-made product but the instructions just aren't quite there. It took us 5-6 hours trying to move as fast as possible, haha, so you still helped saved us time. Exhausted, thanks!
@@EllyAwesomeTech Well done on getting it done :)
@@SpectrumGeeks It is NOT "just me" (you) .... it is ME TOO! So frustrated here on the west coast of the United States.
THANK YOU(!) for making and posting this video.
I am currently, as I type this, in the process of constructing my Omlet chicken run (3x3x2).
I also am frustrated at the sorely lacking printed instructions and insufficient "how to" videos provided by OMLET.
I, ALSO, am struggling with putting this* together.
Omlet could certainly do better with:
1) identifying the parts, especially the different clips ... including part identifying numbers being hard to find, and actually see (both on the package and ON THE PART).
2) the various confusing boxes & questionable reasoning for which parts come in which box
3) unreasonable time estimates/promise to complete construction
4) brief videos that do NOT demonstrate clearly "how to"
5) ridiculous written "directions"
*I purchased the chicken coop and chicken run
Best of luck with the build, I have the coop also and thankfully this is easier to build than the run in my opinion.
