FAQs

What size is this cage?

This specific product variant is 1.5m in width and 4.4m in length, with an internal height of 1.9m (6'3"). Other sizes are available.

What type of netting is included?

This variant comes with Black Soft Butterfly Netting with a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, ideal for preventing butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

Do I need to buy a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately as a door kit. This cage is supplied without a door.

How do I access the inside of the cage?

The netting covers are not permanently fitted and can be lifted using the supplied net clamps for easy access to tend to your plants.

Can I customize the size of the cage?

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

What materials are used for the frame?

The frame is constructed from black powder-coated 27mm diameter aluminum tubing, connected with strong galvanized steel joiners.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes aluminum tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting, and instructions.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

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

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel joiners are securely fastened. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips to anchor the frame more firmly to the ground.

Netting is difficult to secure.

Check that the net clamps are correctly positioned along the tubing and that the netting is pulled taut before securing.

Birds are still accessing crops.

Verify that the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the pest. Ensure there are no gaps or openings in the netting or at the base of the cage. For smaller birds, finer mesh may be required.

Assembly instructions are unclear.

Refer to the detailed instructions provided. If issues persist, consult the 'Hoops and Cages FAQ' section on the manufacturer's website or contact customer support.
