Troubleshooting

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame to the ground or nearby structures.
Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and cable ties. Try stretching the netting slightly taut before securing it at various points. Refer to the instructions for specific guidance on net clamp usage.
Missing components
Carefully check all packaging. If components are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details.
