Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with clear instructions provided. The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs. Users should follow the step-by-step guide to connect the tubing with the steel joints and secure the frame with pegs. Ensure the chosen location is level before beginning assembly.
Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various types of netting, including specific bird netting and soft butterfly netting options offered by Gardening Naturally, or with user-supplied netting material if the 'Frame Only' option is chosen. Custom sizes are available upon request. For enhanced stability in windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).
Care: To maintain the longevity of the cage, regularly check that all connections are secure. If snow is forecast, it is advised to remove the roof netting to prevent weight accumulation and potential damage to the structure. The aluminium tubing and powder coating are designed for outdoor weather resistance, but occasional cleaning with a damp cloth can keep the structure looking its best. Ensure netting is properly secured after each access.
