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, netting (depending on the variant chosen), and assembly instructions.

Do I need to purchase a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately and are not included in the standard cage kit. You will need to purchase a door kit if you wish to have an integrated door.

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of these walk-in cages is an impressive 1.9m (approximately 6'3").

Can I choose different types of netting?

Yes, you can choose between Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh), Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh), Green Bird Netting (19mm x 19mm mesh), or select a 'No Netting - Frame Only' option.

How do I select the right size cage?

The cages are available in various widths and lengths. Consider the space available in your garden and the area you wish to cover. Refer to the product variants for specific dimensions.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent potential damage to the cage structure from the weight of the snow.

Can I build my own cage or get a custom size?

While you can build your own, custom sizes are available upon request. Please allow up to three days for a response during peak times for custom size inquiries.

Troubleshooting

Cage is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to anchor the frame more firmly to the ground.

Netting is not staying in place.

Verify that the net clamps are correctly attached and tightened. Ensure the netting is pulled taut before securing.

Difficulty assembling the frame.

Review the instruction manual carefully. Ensure you are using the correct aluminium tubing pieces and steel connectors as indicated in the diagrams. Use the provided Allen key for tightening.

Pests are still getting into the cage.

Double-check the netting for any holes or gaps. Ensure the netting is properly secured all around the base and sides. If using butterfly netting, confirm it is the correct mesh size for the specific pest.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is straightforward, with aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs provided. Follow the included instructions carefully. Ensure the cage is assembled on level ground for maximum stability.

Compatibility: The cages are designed for use with various fruits and vegetables. Netting options include specific choices for bird protection (strawberries, soft fruit) and butterfly protection (brassicas). The frame-only option allows compatibility with custom netting solutions. Note that doors are sold separately and need to be purchased in addition to the cage kit if desired.

Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness. Clean the aluminium tubing and steel components with a damp cloth as needed. If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent structural damage from the weight. Store netting during the off-season if not in continuous use to prolong its lifespan.
