FAQs

What is included in the garden cage kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, galvanised steel connectors, steel pegs, cable ties, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included based on the specific product variant chosen, or it can be ordered as a frame-only option.

How do I choose the right netting?

For general bird protection and soft fruit like strawberries, use Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh). To specifically target cabbage white butterflies and prevent their eggs on brassicas, choose Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh). Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) offers an alternative that blends into the garden.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow up to three days for a response during peak times when submitting an enquiry.

Do I need to buy a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately. If you require a dedicated door for your cage, please purchase a separate door kit.

How high is the inside of the cage?

The internal height of the walk-in cages is an impressive 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches), allowing for comfortable movement and tending to plants.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is expected, it is recommended to remove the roof netting. This prevents excessive weight from accumulating on the cage structure, which could cause damage.

How do I assemble the cage?

Assembly involves connecting the aluminium tubing with the galvanised steel joints. Follow the clear, included instructions. The cage comes with netting clamps for easy attachment and access to the netting.

What is the warranty period?

Information regarding the warranty period is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official documentation for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Cage structure feels unstable

Ensure all steel joints are fully tightened using the provided Allen key. Verify that ground pegs are securely hammered into the soil. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips for extra stability.

Netting is sagging or not fitting correctly

Check that the netting clamps are securely fastened and evenly distributed along the frame. Ensure the correct size netting has been selected for the cage dimensions. Re-tension the netting as needed.

Netting is being damaged by pests

Verify the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the specific pest you are trying to exclude. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting and that it is securely attached to the frame and the ground.

Difficulty accessing the cage

Use the provided net clamps to temporarily lift and secure the netting covers for access. If frequent access is needed, consider purchasing a separate door kit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Follow the included instructions to connect the tubing using the steel joints, securing the frame with the provided pegs. Attach netting using the supplied net clamps.

Care: Regularly inspect the structure for any loose connections or damage.

Clean the aluminium tubing and netting periodically with a damp cloth to maintain appearance and function. Ensure netting is properly secured after access to maintain pest protection.
