Troubleshooting

Chain appears loose after installation.

Check the tension and adjust the attachment points. Ensure anchor points are secure and capable of holding the chain taut.

Bronze effect finish is fading or corroding.

This may occur with prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh weather. Clean the affected area and consider applying a metal-safe sealant or a protective coating suitable for bronze effects.

Anchor points feel unstable.

Use more robust anchor points or hardware. Consult a professional if unsure about the structural integrity of your mounting surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
