Empty the bag frequently when collecting heavy debris to reduce strain on the mesh and frame. Rinse the net thoroughly after each use to remove grit that can wear the bag over time. Avoid dragging the rim hard across rough surfaces; scoop and lift instead of scraping. Store out of direct sun when possible to extend the life of plastics and mesh.
