Mine just arrived and it has one small hole in the mesh. Is this a structural integrity issue that will cause the mesh to fail? Anyone else have this?

Mine have gotten numerous small holes over the years. They were 4 yrs old when they bit the dust. The kids loved to jump on it, throw the dog on it, plus they were outside 24/7 in all kinds of weather as they were great for carting snow from one side of the yard to the other. I think it will last you for awhile.

Send it back. The hole just gets bigger. I had this happen to another mesh float. I had to throw it out.

The first one I ordered had the same issue, I think; an area of the mesh is slightly smushed or disfigured. The replacement I just received has the same issue. I'm reluctant to return it yet again, but I just can't believe this should be normal or expected for such a high quality (priced) item. Plus, I'm sure it works just fine, but it's going to irk me every time I see it. I'm really surprised Matfer distributes them in plastic bags and not boxes.

I had the same issue as well. It seems pretty sturdy as I've used it many times without problems.

Fortunately for me (I guess) mine failed on the very first use so I returned it for a refund. I would try returning it to Amazon and hope they will refund your money. I think, though, it is beyond their normal refund time.

The mesh is new and my not be in some old adds. Check with Vender b 4 ordering. MINE DID NOT have, but I got it 1/2 year ago

This is the picture of the model I have had problems with. Just got the new one in the mail yesterday, so will see if that corrects the problem or if it just is a product design flaw.

Mine went in with no problem. Maybe take a file lightly around the inside of the hole to remove whatever it's getting stuck on?

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Hi Annette, The one we received was broken. I haven't read the other reviews so I can't verify how common of an occurrence it is. I hope that helps. Best, Brett

Mine doesn't but if it's not deep through the holes it may not matter? Might just ask for a replacement from Amazon Customer Service to be safe, don't want any other particles coming off of it...

I'm sorry to hear you had a problem. Mine arrived in perfect condition, and I've been using it daily with no problems. I'm sure Amazon will help with the return and sending another one to you. I LOVE mine!

I purchased about a year ago. I received mine the same way, I'm pretty sure it's defected. I got it at a good price so wasn't worth sending back, so I use small zip ties from harbor freight, works great. Hope this helps&#128512;

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

Mine said the same and I haven't had any problems. Not the best build quality, but works for me.

Mine doesn't seem to have - can anyone post photos of it so others are aware and know what to look for ?
