FAQs

What are the dimensions of the frame?

This specific model is 1.2m by 4m, with a clearance of 34.5cm above the pond surface.

How do I assemble the frame?

Assembly is straightforward and involves connecting the aluminium tubing sections and attaching the netting with the provided cable ties. Full instructions are included.

Can this frame be used for ponds of different shapes?

While the frame is rectangular, its flexible netting can adapt to slightly irregular shapes. Various sizes and shapes are available, and custom orders can be discussed with customer service.

What is the mesh size of the netting?

The mesh size of the netting is 5mm x 7mm.

Is the frame suitable for winter use?

The aluminium construction is weather-resistant. However, ensure it is stable and free from excessive snow or ice build-up that could cause damage.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes, if the standard sizes do not meet your needs, you can contact their customer service team at 01285 760505 to discuss custom options.

How heavy is the frame?

The frame is lightweight, making it easy to move or dismantle for storage when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Frame is unstable

Ensure all sections are securely connected and the frame is properly seated around or on the pond. For sunken ponds, check that the ground is level.

Netting is sagging

Re-tension the netting and ensure all cable ties are tightened. Add more cable ties if needed for a taut fit.

Herons are still accessing the pond

Verify the frame's height (34.5cm clearance) and ensure there are no gaps where a bird could enter. Check if nearby structures or plants offer alternative access points.

Cable ties break

Replace any broken cable ties with new ones. Consider using UV-resistant cable ties for longer durability.
