FAQs
What is included in the garden cage kit?
The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included unless 'No Netting - Frame Only' is chosen.
Do I need to buy a door separately?
Yes, doors are not included as standard and must be purchased as a separate door kit if required.
What is the difference between Bird/Fruit Netting and Soft Butterfly Netting?
Bird/Fruit Netting has a 20mm mesh size, ideal for protecting soft fruits from birds while allowing bees for pollination. Soft Butterfly Netting has a finer 5mm x 7mm mesh, specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.
How do I choose the right netting for my crops?
For berries and soft fruits vulnerable to birds, use Bird/Fruit Netting or Green Bird Netting. For brassicas like cabbage and broccoli, use the Soft Butterfly Netting to deter butterflies.
Can I get a custom size cage?
Yes, custom sizes are available. Please contact the manufacturer via their cage enquiry form and allow up to three days for a response during peak times.
What should I do if snow is forecast?
If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from damaging the cage structure.
How do I maintain the cage?
Periodically check all fittings for tightness and inspect the netting for any damage. Clean the aluminium frame with a damp cloth. Ensure the netting is removed during heavy snow.
Is assembly difficult?
The cage is designed for simple assembly with clear instructions included. Most users find it straightforward to put together with basic tools.
Troubleshooting
Cage is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Verify that the steel pegs are securely driven into the ground. For very windy locations, add heavy-duty pipe clips to anchor the frame more firmly.
Netting is difficult to attach securely.
Use the provided net clamps and cable ties, ensuring they are positioned strategically to hold the netting taut against the frame. Double-check that the correct netting size has been chosen for the frame.
Internal height seems less than 1.9m.
Confirm that the frame has been assembled to its full height specification and that the base is level. The effective height may be slightly reduced by the ground pegs.
