Troubleshooting

Spikes are loose after installation

Ensure the correct type and size of screws are used for the mounting surface. Re-tighten screws, or consider using anchors if mounting on brick or concrete.

Rust appearing on spikes

While designed to be weather-resistant, prolonged exposure in highly corrosive environments might cause minor surface rust. This does not typically affect structural integrity. A light coating of rust-inhibiting spray can be applied if desired.

Difficulty drilling holes for mounting

Ensure you are using the appropriate drill bit for the mounting surface. For hard materials like concrete or brick, a masonry drill bit is required.
