FAQs

What is the mesh size of the netting?

The mesh size of the netting is 5mm x 7mm, designed to prevent debris while allowing water circulation.

How much clearance does the frame provide above the pond?

The frame provides approximately 35cm (34.5cm) of clearance above the pond surface.

Can this frame be used for very large or unusually shaped ponds?

The product is available in various sizes and shapes. For dimensions not listed, you can contact our customer service team who may be able to assist with custom solutions.

Is the frame difficult to assemble?

No, the frame is designed for easy assembly with simple construction and comprehensive instructions provided. It is also lightweight.

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is constructed from 19mm aluminum tubing.

Can the frame be left outside year-round?

The aluminum construction is durable, but for prolonged harsh weather conditions or seasonal storage, disassembly and indoor storage are recommended to maximize lifespan.

Does the netting need to be attached permanently?

The netting is attached using cable ties, allowing for removal if necessary for maintenance or cleaning, though it is designed for continuous use.

Troubleshooting

Frame is unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all aluminum tubing sections are fully connected and the frame is resting evenly on the ground or pond edge. For sunken ponds, ensure the ground is level.

Netting is sagging significantly.

Tighten the cable ties securing the netting to the frame. If necessary, use additional cable ties for better support.

Assembly instructions are unclear.

Refer to the diagrams provided with the product. If problems persist, contact Gardening Naturally customer service for clarification.

Pond size does not match available frame sizes.
