Troubleshooting

Frame feels unstable

Ensure all tubing sections are fully connected and secure. For ground-level ponds, check that the frame is resting evenly on the ground. For raised ponds, ensure it is securely positioned on the pond's edge.

Netting is sagging excessively

Check that the netting is properly tensioned and secured with the provided cable ties. Ensure no heavy debris is resting on top of the netting.

Predators are still accessing the pond

Verify the frame completely covers the pond surface with no gaps. Ensure the height clearance is sufficient to deter larger predators. Consider adding additional deterrents if necessary.

Assembly instructions are unclear

Refer to the detailed diagrams provided. If issues persist, contact Gardening Naturally customer service at 01285 760505 for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward, typically involving connecting the aluminium tubing pieces to form the frame. Comprehensive instructions are included with each unit. Ensure you have a clear space around the pond for assembly. The netting is pre-attached or easily attached using the provided cable ties.

Compatibility: This frame is suitable for a wide array of pond shapes and sizes. It can be placed directly on the ground surrounding sunken ponds or positioned over raised pond structures. Ensure you select a size that appropriately covers your pond's surface, leaving a small overlap if necessary for secure placement. Contact customer service if a standard size does not fit your specific pond dimensions.

Care: The aluminium tubing requires minimal care. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary. The netting should be checked periodically for accumulated debris. Large accumulations can be gently brushed or rinsed off. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, as they may damage the netting or affect pond water quality. Store the dismantled frame in a dry place during the off-season if required.
