FAQs

What is included in the Premium Walk In Fruit Cage kit?

The kit includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting (depending on selection), and assembly instructions.

Do I need to buy a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately as a door kit and are not included as standard with the cage.

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height is an impressive 1.9m (6'3"), allowing for comfortable movement and tending of plants.

Can I use my own netting material?

Yes, you can select the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option if you prefer to use your own netting material.

How do I choose the right netting for my needs?

Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) protects from birds while allowing pollinators. Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) targets specific butterflies. Green Bird Netting is an alternative to black netting that blends in.

What should I do in case of snow?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from damaging the structure.

Are custom sizes available?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow up to three days for a response during peak times for custom inquiries.

How can I increase stability in windy areas?

For extra stability in particularly windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips to secure the cage to the ground.

Troubleshooting

Cage is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened using the provided Allen key. For very windy areas, use heavy-duty pipe clips to secure the frame to the ground.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure the net clamps are correctly positioned on the aluminium tubing. Check that the netting is spread evenly before securing.

Pests are still entering the cage

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

Aluminium tubing appears discoloured

This is typically cosmetic and does not affect the structural integrity. Clean with a damp cloth if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward, with clear instructions provided. The kit includes all necessary components such as aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs. Ensure all connections are securely fastened. For enhanced stability in windy conditions, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).

Compatibility: The cages are available in various sizes and can be fitted with different types of netting (Bird/Fruit, Soft Butterfly, Green Bird Netting) or used with your own netting material. Doors are available as separate kits. Custom sizes can also be accommodated.

Care: Regularly check the structure for any signs of wear or looseness and tighten connections as needed. Keep the netting clean and free from debris. In periods of heavy snowfall, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from accumulating on the frame. The aluminium tubing can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
