FAQs

What is the internal height of the walk-in cage?

The internal height is an impressive 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches), allowing for comfortable movement inside.

Do I need to purchase a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately. You will need to purchase a door kit if you require one for your cage.

What types of netting are available and what do they protect against?

Options include Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) for birds and allowing pollinators, Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) for brassicas against butterflies, and Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) as an alternative to black netting. A 'Frame Only' option is also available.

How is the cage secured to the ground?

The cage is secured using the included steel pegs, which are inserted into the ground. For added stability in windy conditions, heavy-duty pipe clips can be used.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please note that during peak times, there may be a delay, and it might take up to three days for a response to custom size inquiries.

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting (depending on the chosen option), and assembly instructions.

How should I care for the cage during winter or heavy weather?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excess weight from damaging the structure. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is advisable.

Troubleshooting

Cage is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Verify that steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips to further secure the base.

Netting is difficult to attach.

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and cable ties correctly. If the netting is too tight, slightly loosen the frame connections before re-securing. Ensure the netting is oriented correctly for even tension.

Netting has small tears.

Small tears can often be repaired with strong garden tape or by sewing. For larger damage, consider replacing the affected section of netting.

Frost or snow damage to netting.

Remove the roof netting if heavy snow is forecast. For frost, allow the netting to thaw naturally before handling to prevent damage.
