Troubleshooting
Fence does not expand smoothly
Check for any debris or obstructions caught in the sliding wooden slats. Gently try to wiggle the slats to free them. Ensure the fence is on a level surface.
Fence feels unstable when fully expanded
The fence is designed to be flexible. For added stability, especially in windy conditions or when supporting plants, consider using additional stakes or ties to secure it to the ground or a nearby structure.
Wood appears to be weathering or fading
This is a natural process for untreated wood exposed to the elements. Apply an annual coat of animal-safe wood preservative as recommended to protect and refresh the wood's appearance.
Small cracks appearing in the wood
Minor cracking can occur in wood over time due to changes in humidity and temperature. This usually does not affect the structural integrity of the fence. Continue with recommended annual preservation.
