Troubleshooting
Frame feels unstable
Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened using the Allen key. Verify that steel pegs are securely hammered into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using additional heavy-duty pipe clips.
Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure you are using the correct net clamps as provided. Check that the netting is stretched taut but not overly so, which can make clamping difficult.
Pests are still accessing crops
Verify that the correct type of netting is being used for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps or tears in the netting and that it is securely attached to the frame and anchored to the ground.
Component missing
Double-check all packaging. If a component is confirmed missing, contact customer support with your order details and the specific part needed.
