FAQs

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The cages stand 1.9m (6ft 3in) high and are available in various widths and lengths to suit different garden spaces, such as 2m x 2m or 2.4m x 8m.

What types of netting are available?

Options include bird netting with 17mm x 17mm or 20mm x 20mm mesh, soft butterfly netting with 7mm x 5mm mesh, and a frame-only option.

Can I use my own netting?

Yes, a frame-only option is available if you wish to supply and fit your own mesh or netting.

Is assembly difficult?

The cages are designed with lightweight aluminium poles and UV-stabilised connectors for relatively straightforward assembly. Ground anchors are included for secure installation.

How does the cage handle weather?

The aluminium frame is durable. It is recommended to remove the roof section during heavy snow to prevent damage and to use corner braces in windy conditions for stability.

Will the netting harm wildlife?

The netting is designed to protect crops while minimising the risk of harm to birds and wildlife. Bees can still move through the netting for pollination.

Can a wheelbarrow fit inside?

Yes, the cage features a wide opening door designed to allow a standard wheelbarrow to pass through with ease.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in wind

Ensure ground anchors are firmly secured. Install recommended corner braces for added support, especially in exposed locations.

Netting is sagging

Check that the frame is correctly assembled and taut. Adjust netting attachment points to ensure even tension.

Pests are still accessing crops

Verify that the correct mesh size netting has been chosen for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps or tears in the netting and that it is properly secured to the ground.

Frame appears weak after snow

The roof section should be removed before heavy snow. If damage occurred, inspect the frame and connectors for bending or breakage and replace parts as needed.
