Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tunnel, start by laying out the steel frame segments in your desired configuration. Use the provided zip ties to secure the mesh to the frame initially, then lock the corner pieces into place using the integrated locking mechanisms. Drive the ground stakes into the earth at each support junction to provide wind resistance.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly inspect the wire mesh for any signs of tampering by local wildlife.
- Check the ground stakes monthly, especially after heavy rain, to ensure the unit has not shifted.
- When applying the UV-resistant cover, ensure it is pulled taut to prevent water pooling during rainfall.
- Clean the steel frame with a soft brush and water if you live in a coastal area to remove salt buildup.
