FAQs

Do these fruit cages protect from birds?

Yes, cages supplied with bird netting are effective at stopping birds from eating your fruit and vegetables. The netting is designed to allow bees to pass through for pollination.

Can a wheelbarrow fit inside?

Yes, the walk-in design and wide door opening are specifically intended to allow a standard wheelbarrow to move through the cage with ease.

Is the netting safe for wildlife?

The netting is designed to protect crops while minimizing the risk of harm to birds and other garden wildlife. Specific netting options are tailored for different pest types.

Can I use the cage without netting?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available if you wish to use your own preferred type of mesh or netting for the fruit cage.

What type of netting stops cabbage white butterflies?

The soft butterfly and green soft butterfly netting options, featuring 7mm x 5mm mesh, are designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from reaching your crops.

Should I take the cage down in winter?

It is recommended to remove the roof section or dismantle the cage when heavy winds or snow are forecast to prevent damage from the weight or force of the elements.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The cages stand at a height of 1.9m (6ft 3in) and are available in various width and length options to suit different garden sizes.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in windy conditions

Ensure all ground pegs and anchors are firmly secured. For increased stability in exposed locations, consider installing the optional corner braces.

Netting is not fitting correctly

Verify that the correct netting size has been selected for the cage frame. Ensure netting is taut and secured with all provided clips.

Door is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions around the door frame. Ensure the frame itself is not distorted. Adjust clips or connectors if necessary.
