Troubleshooting
Cage frame feels unstable
Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely and steel pegs are fully inserted into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips for additional stability.
Netting is difficult to attach
Ensure the netting is spread evenly across the frame before using cable ties and net clamps. Adjust tautness as needed for a secure fit without excessive strain.
Netting is not effectively keeping pests out
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting and repair them promptly. Ensure the netting is secured all the way to the ground to prevent entry from below.
