Troubleshooting
Cage frame feels unstable
Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. Use the provided steel pegs to anchor the frame firmly into the ground. For very windy locations, consider adding heavy-duty pipe clips for extra stability.
Netting is difficult to secure
Use the provided cable ties and net clamps to firmly attach the netting to the aluminium tubing. Ensure the netting is taut but not overstretched.
Netting has small holes or tears
Repair small tears using garden twine or specialized netting repair tape to maintain pest protection. For significant damage, consider replacing the netting section.
Insects still getting into the cage
Check that the netting mesh size is appropriate for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps where the netting meets the ground or around the frame; seal any gaps with soil or additional anchoring.
