Omlet strives to make the world's best pet products. You should note that some components are made from metal and the coating may need maintenance over time.
Regular care and maintenance is important to increase the life of your Omlet Pet Run.
We recommend regular rinsing with potable water especially if you live in an area or suburb that is coastal or prone to sea breezes or salty air.
If rust spots do develop, then you should repair them to give your outdoor pet run the best chance of staying well maintained.

RECOMMENDATION
To help keep your metal run or outdoor enclosure in great condition, we recommend using CRC Lanocote from the start and as part of your regular maintenance routine. Spraying it on pole joins, hinges, latches, and fixings during assembly helps protect these areas from rust and can make the enclosure easier to take apart in the future if needed. CRC Lanocote is made from lanolin, a natural and environmentally friendly ingredient that gives long-lasting protection against corrosion. It is safe for treated materials, people, pets, wildlife, and the environment. Because it is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, biodegradable, and naturally water-repellent, it creates a flexible moisture barrier that will not dry out or easily wash off. It also helps protect metal from salt, acids, most alkalis, oxidation, and galvanic corrosion, making it a reliable choice even in harsh outdoor or marine conditions.
WARRANTY NOTICE
Warranty coverage is conditional upon the run being maintained with reasonable care and in accordance with recommended maintenance practices. Any warranty claim may be declined if damage, deterioration, or failure is deemed to have resulted from inadequate maintenance, neglect, or improper care.
Regular Maintenance is a Good Thing 👍
Yes! Wash regularly
Regular washing or pressure washing with potable water to prolong the life of your steel mesh structure, especially in coastal areas or locations prone to salt air or sea breezes.
We recommend doing this 2 to 4 times a year. This is easily done with a water blaster set to a wide nozzle.
Clean house & run
Clean both the plastic housing and the steel mesh run including the frame and wheels. After hosing it down, let it air dry and then apply Lanocote to all necessary areas (pole joints, door latches, hinges, and fixings.) If rust spots develop then repair to extend the life of your product.
Check run clips & refresh if needed 😊
Carry out regular maintenace checks each time your clean. Take a quick walk around the run and check the security and stability of the run panels. In time, the run clips can age and become weaker, if so, consider refreshing all the run clips on your run. Replacement packs are available.
We have replacement run clips, pole clips, covers and bungees available.
