Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your upright pole and support bar are free from debris or rust. Slide the joiner over the upright pole until it meets the desired height, then align the top support bar with the connector housing. Ensure the fit is snug; if the pole feels loose, check that your pole diameter matches the 28.3mm specification. Regarding care, simply wipe the joiner down with a damp cloth at the end of the growing season. If you live in a coastal area with high salt content in the air, a light spray of silicone lubricant or a rust-inhibiting coating can help extend the life of the component and prevent any potential stiffening of the material.
