Troubleshooting
Netting is sagging or not staying in place.
Ensure the edges are well-secured using stakes, weights, or by burying the edges slightly into the ground. For larger areas, consider adding additional support points.
Netting appears to be fraying after cutting.
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife for a clean cut. If fraying occurs, you can try lightly melting the edge with a flame (use extreme caution) or folding the edge back on itself and securing it.
Debris is accumulating on the netting.
Gently rinse the netting with a hose or a bucket of water. For stubborn debris, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the netting is dry before storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Garden Mile netting is straightforward. Unroll the netting and place it over the desired area, such as a pond or garden bed. Use stakes, weights, or rocks to secure the edges, ensuring there are no gaps for pests to enter. The netting can be easily cut to size using sharp scissors or shears; however, for the neatest result, cut decisively and consider folding the edge over itself if fraying is a concern. It is compatible with most garden environments. To care for the netting, rinse it periodically with water to remove dirt and debris. Store it dry when not in use for extended periods to prolong its lifespan.
