Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable in windy conditions.
Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Use the provided steel pegs to anchor the frame securely into the ground. For extra stability, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) around the tubing where it enters the ground.
Netting is difficult to attach or sags.
Ensure the frame is assembled correctly and is square. Pull the netting taut during attachment and use the net clamps and cable ties provided to secure it firmly. Check that the frame is properly anchored to prevent movement while tensioning.
Birds/pests are still getting into the cage.
Verify that the chosen netting mesh size is appropriate for the pest you are trying to exclude. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting and that it is securely fastened to the ground along the base.
