FAQs

How do I choose the right size frame for my pond?

Measure the length and width of your pond. The frames are available in various dimensions; select the size that best matches or slightly exceeds your pond's measurements to ensure full coverage. If your pond is an unusual shape, consider purchasing a larger frame and adapting the netting, or contact customer service for assistance.

What is the mesh size of the netting?

The netting has a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, which is effective at catching leaves and debris while allowing light and air to pass through.

Can this frame be used for ponds with surrounding plants?

Yes, the frame provides 35cm of clearance above the pond, offering ample space for most aquatic plants to grow. It can also be placed around sunken ponds without disturbing existing marginal plants.

Is the netting safe for fish and wildlife?

Yes, the netting is made of soft, flat material designed to be safe for aquatic life. It effectively deters predators without causing harm to pond inhabitants or visiting wildlife.

How easy is it to assemble and disassemble?

The frame is designed for easy assembly using simple connections and provided cable ties. It is also lightweight, making it easy to move or break down for storage during seasons when it's not needed.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is constructed from durable 19mm aluminum tubing, which is lightweight yet robust and resistant to rust.

What if the standard size doesn't fit my pond?

Gardening Naturally offers a range of sizes. If you cannot find a suitable standard size, you can contact their customer service team at 01285 760505, and they may be able to assist with custom solutions.

Troubleshooting

Frame feels unstable after assembly

Ensure all tubing sections are securely connected and that the frame is placed on a level surface. Double-check that all cable ties securing the netting are tightened appropriately.

Netting is sagging or loose

Adjust the tension by re-tightening the cable ties. Ensure the frame itself is correctly assembled and providing adequate support.

Large debris still entering the pond

Verify that the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the type of debris you are experiencing. For extremely small debris, a finer mesh might be necessary, or ensure no gaps exist where the netting meets the frame.

Aluminum tubing shows signs of corrosion

While aluminum is generally weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or highly acidic environments could cause minor surface issues. Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution. For significant corrosion, consult the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Unpack all components, including the 19mm aluminum tubing and netting. Follow the provided instructions carefully to connect the tubing sections to form the frame. Once the frame is assembled, attach the netting using the included cable ties, ensuring it is taut but not overstretched. Place the assembled frame over your pond, ensuring it sits securely.

Compatibility: This frame is suitable for various pond types, including raised ponds or ground-level sunken ponds. It is available in multiple sizes and shapes, but if your pond dimensions are highly irregular, contact customer service to explore custom options. The mesh size is 5mm x 7mm.

Care: To maintain the frame's effectiveness and appearance, regularly remove any accumulated debris from the netting. Wipe down the aluminum tubing with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or grime. Check the cable ties periodically and tighten or replace them if they become loose or brittle.
