Troubleshooting
Frame is wobbly after assembly
Ensure all aluminum tubes are fully connected and that cable ties securing the netting are tightened evenly on all sides to provide tension.
Netting does not fit tightly
Adjust the placement and tension of the cable ties. You may need to overlap the netting slightly in corners to achieve a snug fit.
Pond size does not match available frame sizes
Contact the customer service team at 01285 760505 to inquire about custom sizing options or alternative solutions.
Herons are still managing to access the pond
Ensure the frame is securely anchored if placed on the ground and that there are no gaps in the netting or at the base of the frame.
