How does the netting attach to the frame?

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

What is the mesh size of the netting?

Troubleshooting

Frame is unstable on uneven ground.

Ensure the pond's edge or surrounding land is as level as possible before placing the frame. If necessary, use small, non-damaging shims to stabilize the base.

Netting is sagging or not fitting tightly.

Re-distribute the cable ties along the frame, ensuring they are pulled taut. Check that the correct size frame for your pond is being used.

Aluminium tubing appears corroded.

This is unlikely with aluminium, but if discoloration occurs, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure the product is not exposed to harsh chemicals.

Pond plants are growing too tall for the clearance.

Consider pruning taller plants or consult customer service for alternative solutions or larger frame options if available.
