FAQs

How do I choose the right size frame for my pond?

Measure the length and width of your pond accurately. Refer to the available size options and select the frame that best matches or slightly exceeds your pond's dimensions. If you have an irregular shape, contact customer service for assistance.

Is the netting material safe for fish?

Yes, the netting is described as soft and flat, designed to protect pond life while preventing entry of predators and debris. The mesh size is 5mm x 7mm.

Can this frame be used for very deep ponds?

The frame provides 35cm of clearance above the pond surface. It is suitable for both raised and ground-level ponds. For deep ponds, ensure the frame's legs or base can be securely positioned around the pond's edge or on surrounding land.

What are the dimensions of the aluminum tubing?

The frame is manufactured from 19mm aluminum tubing.

How is the netting attached?

The netting is attached to the aluminum frame using the provided cable ties.

What if the size I need is not listed?

Gardening Naturally offers a range of sizes and shapes. If you cannot find a suitable option, you can call their customer service team at 01285 760505, and they may be able to assist with a custom solution.

Is assembly difficult?

No, the frame is designed for easy assembly with full instructions provided. It is lightweight and can be put together quickly.

Troubleshooting

Frame is unstable

Ensure all aluminum tubing sections are fully connected and secure. Check that the frame is level on the ground or pond edge. For sunken ponds, ensure the ground around the perimeter is firm.

Netting is sagging

Tighten the cable ties securing the netting to the frame. Ensure you are using all provided attachment points. Re-position if necessary to create even tension.

Incorrect size ordered

Contact Gardening Naturally customer service at 01285 760505 to discuss options for exchange or a custom solution if available.

Herons/Cats still accessing the pond

Verify the frame height (35cm clearance) is sufficient and that there are no gaps where predators can enter. Ensure netting is securely attached and has no holes. Consider using multiple frames for larger ponds.
