Troubleshooting
Trellis feels unstable after mounting
Ensure that you have used adequate fixings and that they are securely fastened into a solid support. Check that the trellis is fully extended or retracted to its desired, stable position before final tightening.
Rivets are stiff and difficult to move
Gently work the trellis back and forth to loosen the rivets. You can apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring it is safe for garden use.
