Setup and Assembly

Setting up the Evolv Crate is straightforward. The crate comes with clear instructions, and most parts are tool-free. If you need to replace any components, spare parts like the Evolv Base Frame/Playpen Frame are available, which lets you convert the crate into a playpen by swapping the ceiling mesh.

When assembling, ensure all panels click securely into place. The Evolv Divider can be installed to adjust the interior space, which is especially useful for puppy training. If you have questions about specific parts, the Evolv Doors & Panels - Spare Parts are available for replacement.

Always double-check that the crate is stable before letting your dog inside. If you're using the playpen mode, make sure the open top is secure and that the frame is properly locked.

• Keep the instruction manual handy for quick reference.
• Test the crate's stability after assembly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping the Evolv Crate clean is essential for hygiene and longevity. The crate's base and panels can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

For the bed, the Bolstr Evolv Bed has a removable, water-repellent outer cover that you can take off and wash. This makes it easy to keep fresh, especially if your dog has accidents. The Bolstr Spare Outer Cover is a handy replacement if you want an extra cover for rotation.

Regularly check for any loose screws or worn parts. If something breaks, spare parts like the Evolv Base Frame/Playpen Frame or Evolv Doors & Panels - Spare Parts are available to replace them.

• Wash the bed cover on a gentle cycle and air dry.
• Wipe down the crate frame weekly to prevent buildup.

Training and Usage
