Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Square Portable Domed Cages are designed for home gardeners seeking year-round protection for their fruit and vegetable crops. Their key benefit is providing versatile, mobile protection against pests and weather. A potential caveat is that the netting options are sold separately from the frame, requiring careful selection based on specific needs. These cages feature a lightweight, easy-to-assemble aluminium frame with rigid base and top rails, available in various lengths and with optional netting covers like insect mesh, butterfly net, anti-bird netting, and garden fleece.

FAQs

Can the Square Portable Domed Cages be used in raised beds?

Yes, these cages fit well in raised beds and open soil. Their light frame makes them simple to move between growing areas as required.

Do the base and top rails help with strength?

Yes, both base and top rails keep the cage rigid and stable. This means it holds its shape when lifted or moved, even with covers attached.

Which netting is best for protecting against insects?

Veggiemesh insect mesh blocks most garden pests, while ultra-fine Veggiemesh is ideal for smaller insects such as whitefly and flea beetle.

Are the frames supplied with all fittings?

Frames ordered with netting include support bars, U pins, and clips. Orders without netting include the aluminium frame and joiners only.

Can I use garden fleece and netting together?

Yes, fleece can be used in winter for warmth and replaced with netting in spring or summer. The same frame supports both types of cover.

How many length options are available?

All square portable domed cages are 0.92m high and 1.2m wide and come in six different lengths.

What if the standard sizes don't fit my garden?

If these sizes are not suitable, you can create your own using our hoops and accessories, or contact sales@gardening-naturally.com for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Frame is unstable

Ensure all joiners are fully secured and that the base rails are firmly seated in the soil or on the ground. Check that top rails are correctly attached.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you have the correct type and size of netting for your frame. Use the provided clips and U pins to secure the netting evenly around the frame.

Netting tears easily

Handle the netting carefully during setup and removal. For ongoing protection, consider reinforcing edges or using heavier-duty netting if minor tears occur.

Cage blows over in strong winds

Secure the base rails more firmly into the ground, especially in exposed locations. Consider using additional ground stakes if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assemble the aluminium frame by connecting the poles and joiners. If ordering with netting, attach the support bars, then secure the chosen cover using the provided U pins and clips. Ensure the base rails are firmly in place to provide stability.

Compatibility: The cages are designed to fit over raised beds and open soil. They are compatible with a range of Gardening Naturally covers, including Veggiemesh, ultra-fine Veggiemesh, soft butterfly net, anti-bird netting, and garden fleece. The frame can be used with or without netting.

Care: After use, clean the aluminium frame with a damp cloth. If netting is removed, store it folded to prevent damage. Ensure all components are dry before storing to prevent mould or mildew. Periodically check the frame and netting for wear and tear.
