Troubleshooting
Cones keep falling over in windy conditions.
Use pegs or stakes (not included) through the provided perforations to secure the cones to the ground.
Cones are difficult to see in low-light conditions.
Ensure the cones are clean and free of dirt. Consider using additional lighting if training in low-light conditions.
Cones are unstable on uneven ground.
Choose a more level area for set up. If the ground is slightly uneven, use the pegs to help stabilize the cones.
