Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screen feels unstable after installation. | Stakes not fully inserted or foot plates not properly buried. Loose connections. | Ensure ground stakes are fully inserted into soft ground. If on soft ground, bury the foot plates completely. Tighten all hardware connections. |
| Panels appear misaligned. | Panels or posts not correctly seated in the mortise and tenon joints. | Disassemble the affected section and re-align the panels and posts, ensuring they fit snugly into the designated slots. |
| Difficulty inserting ground stakes. | Ground is too hard or rocky. | Consider softening the ground with water or using hard-surface installation accessories (sold separately) if the ground cannot be penetrated. |
