FAQs

How do I assemble the fruit cage?

Assemble the aluminium poles using the provided UV-stabilised connectors. Secure the frame to the ground with the included anchors and fittings, then attach the netting.

What is the height of the fruit cage?

The fruit cages stand at 1.9m (6ft 3in) high, providing ample space to move inside.

Can I use a wheelbarrow inside the cage?

Yes, the wide opening door is designed to allow a standard wheelbarrow to pass through easily.

What type of netting is best for preventing birds?

The green bird netting, with its 20mm x 20mm mesh, is designed to stop birds from eating your crops while still allowing bees to pollinate.

What netting stops cabbage white butterflies?

The soft butterfly and green soft butterfly netting, featuring a 7mm x 5mm mesh, is effective against cabbage white butterflies.

Do I need to take the cage down in winter?

It is advised to remove the roof section or dismantle the cage when heavy winds or snow are expected to prevent damage from weight or strong forces.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, a frame-only option is available if you wish to use your own preferred mesh or netting.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure all ground anchors are firmly secured. For gardens in windy areas, consider adding the recommended corner braces for extra support.

Netting is sagging or loose

Re-tension the netting and ensure it is clipped or tied securely to the frame at all points.

Door is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions around the door frame and ensure the frame itself is not distorted.

Netting has small tears

Repair small tears with appropriate garden netting repair tape or by carefully sewing. For significant damage, consider replacing the netting section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assemble the aluminium frame according to the included instructions, connecting the poles with the UV-stabilised connectors. Secure the frame to the ground using the provided anchors and fittings. Attach the chosen netting securely to the frame. The door should be positioned for convenient access.

Compatibility: The cages are designed to be compatible with various netting types, including specific butterfly and bird netting. A frame-only option allows for custom mesh selection. The structure is suitable for most garden types.

Care: Regularly check that the netting is taut and free from tears. Ensure ground anchors remain secure. During winter or periods of expected heavy snow or high winds, it is recommended to remove the roof section or dismantle the cage to prevent structural damage. Clean the aluminium frame with a damp cloth if necessary.
