FAQs

How easy is it to assemble the pond protection frame?

The frame is designed for easy assembly with simple instructions provided. It typically involves connecting aluminum tubing sections and securing the netting with cable ties.

What is the clearance height provided for pond plants?

The frame provides a clearance of 34.5cm above the pond, allowing sufficient space for most pond plants to grow.

Can this frame be used for different types of ponds?

Yes, it can be placed over raised ponds or directly on the land surrounding sunken pond systems.

What are the dimensions of the mesh?

The mesh size is 5mm x 7mm.

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is manufactured from 19mm aluminum tubing.

What should I do if I can't find a size that fits my pond?

Gardening Naturally offers various standard sizes. If none of these suit your needs, you can call their customer service team at 01285 760505, as they may be able to assist with custom solutions.

How is the netting attached to the frame?

The netting is attached to the aluminum frame using the provided cable ties.

Troubleshooting

Frame is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all aluminum tubing sections are fully connected and that the frame is resting evenly on the ground or pond edge. Double-check that cable ties securing the netting are tightened appropriately, as they also add structural integrity.

Netting appears loose or is sagging.

Check all cable ties securing the netting to the frame and tighten them further. If the netting is still loose, you may need to reposition it or use additional cable ties.

Herons are still able to access parts of the pond.

Verify that the frame completely encircles the pond without gaps. Ensure the height clearance is sufficient to deter entry. Consider if the mesh size is adequate for the specific predator.

Frame does not fit the pond perfectly.

Review the available sizes and shapes to ensure the closest match was selected. For significant discrepancies, contact customer service to inquire about custom sizing options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The frame is designed for simple construction. Unpack all components, including the aluminum tubing and netting. Follow the provided instructions to assemble the frame, connecting the tubing sections. Once the frame is built to the desired shape and size, lay the netting over it and secure it using the included cable ties. Ensure the netting is taut to prevent sagging.

Compatibility: This product is suitable for most garden ponds, including raised pond designs and traditional sunken pond systems. It is available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different pond dimensions. If an exact fit is not found, the customer service line can be contacted for potential bespoke solutions.

Care: The aluminum frame requires minimal care; wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary. The netting can be spot-cleaned. Periodically check that the cable ties are secure and the netting is free from tears or excessive debris buildup. During winter, the frame can be disassembled and stored in a dry place.
