How should I care for the cage during winter or heavy weather?
If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excess weight from damaging the structure. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is advisable.
Troubleshooting
Cage is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Verify that steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips to further secure the base.
Netting is difficult to attach.
Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and cable ties correctly. If the netting is too tight, slightly loosen the frame connections before re-securing. Ensure the netting is oriented correctly for even tension.
Netting has small tears.
Small tears can often be repaired with strong garden tape or by sewing. For larger damage, consider replacing the affected section of netting.
Frost or snow damage to netting.
Remove the roof netting if heavy snow is forecast. For frost, allow the netting to thaw naturally before handling to prevent damage.
