FAQs

How do I choose the right size frame for my pond?

Measure the length and width of your pond surface. Compare these dimensions to the available sizes listed for the Pond Protection Frame. If your pond dimensions are between sizes or are an unusual shape, please contact our customer service team for assistance.

What is the mesh size of the netting?

The mesh size of the netting provided with the frame is 5mm x 7mm.

Can this frame be used for garden decorations or other purposes?

While designed for pond protection, the frame's structure could potentially be adapted for other garden uses, provided the load and environment are suitable. However, its primary design and warranty are for pond protection.

How tall is the frame once assembled?

The frame provides a clearance of 34.5cm above the pond surface or surrounding ground.

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is constructed from durable 19mm aluminium tubing.

Is the netting UV resistant?

The product information does not specify UV resistance for the netting. It is recommended to protect it from prolonged direct sunlight when possible to extend its lifespan.

Can I purchase replacement netting or parts?

For replacement netting, cable ties, or specific tubing parts, please contact Gardening Naturally customer service directly for availability and ordering information.

Troubleshooting

Frame appears unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all tubing sections are fully connected and secure. Double-check that all cable ties attaching the netting are tightened properly. If placing on uneven ground, consider using small shims to level the frame.

Netting is sagging significantly.

Re-tighten the cable ties securing the netting to the frame. Ensure the netting is oriented correctly and not twisted. If the netting is too large for the frame, check that you are using the correct size frame for the netting provided.

Herons or other animals are still accessing the pond.

Verify that the mesh size (5mm x 7mm) is not allowing smaller predators through, or that the frame covers the entire pond surface without gaps. Ensure the frame height provides sufficient deterrence. Sometimes, adjusting the placement or adding a secondary deterrent near the pond may help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively deters predators like herons.
  • Keeps ponds clean from falling leaves and debris.
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble.
  • Lightweight and portable for convenient storage or repositioning.
  • Provides adequate clearance for pond plants.
  • Available in multiple sizes to fit various pond dimensions.

Cons

  • Requires user assembly.
  • May not fit uniquely shaped or extremely large ponds without custom ordering.
  • The netting's 5mm x 7mm mesh might not stop very small debris or insects.
  • Aesthetics may not suit all garden designs (though silver and black options are available).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Unpack all components, including the aluminium tubing and netting. Follow the provided instructions to connect the tubing pieces to form the frame. Once the frame is constructed, unfold the netting and attach it to the frame using the included cable ties, ensuring it is taut and secure.

Compatibility: The frame is available in various standard sizes and shapes to accommodate most common pond dimensions. It can be placed directly over sunken ponds or positioned on the ground around raised pond structures. If a specific size or shape is not listed, contact Gardening Naturally customer service for potential custom solutions.

Care: To maintain the frame, periodically check the netting for any tears or wear and replace cable ties if they become brittle. The aluminium tubing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the netting is kept reasonably clear of heavy debris to maintain its effectiveness and prevent undue stress on the frame.
