Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable
Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into the soil. For added stability, consider using additional ground anchors or stakes, especially in windy conditions or on soft ground.
Netting is difficult to attach securely
Ensure you are using the provided clips correctly. If the netting is very taut, try slightly adjusting the frame's position before fully securing the netting.
Poles do not fit together easily
Check for any debris or damage at the ends of the poles or inside the connectors. Ensure you are using the correct poles for each connection point.
Netting mesh seems too large for a specific pest
Confirm the mesh size of your chosen netting. If it's insufficient, consider purchasing netting with a finer mesh size (e.g., 7mm x 5mm butterfly netting).
