Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure you are using the provided net clamps correctly. The clamps are designed to grip the tubing and netting firmly. Ensure the netting is pulled taut before securing.
Pests are still getting into the cage
Check for any gaps or tears in the netting. Ensure the base of the netting is secured to the ground to prevent entry from below. Verify the correct mesh size netting is being used for the specific pest.
