FAQs

What is the main purpose of these cages?

The main purpose is to protect fruit and vegetable crops from pests such as birds and butterflies, while allowing space for gardeners to work.

What types of netting are available?

Available options include Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh), Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh), Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh), or a 'Frame Only' option.

Do I need to purchase a door separately?

Yes, doors are not included with the standard cage kit and must be purchased as a separate door kit if desired.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The internal height is 1.9m (6'3"). The width and length vary depending on the specific model chosen, with options like 1.5m width and 1.5m length available (as indicated by PC202015/GB model for example).

How do I access the plants inside the cage?

The covers (netting) are not permanently fitted, allowing them to be easily lifted for access to tend to your plants. A separate door kit can also be purchased for convenience.

Is the netting suitable for all pests?

Different netting types offer varied protection. Bird/Fruit netting protects against birds while allowing bees. Soft Butterfly netting specifically targets butterflies for brassica crops. Always choose the netting best suited to the pests you are trying to deter.

How do I ensure the cage is stable?

The cage comes with steel pegs for ground anchoring. For enhanced stability, especially in windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes aluminum tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting (unless 'Frame Only' is chosen), and assembly instructions.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel joints are fully tightened. Use the provided steel pegs for secure ground anchoring. For additional stability, purchase and install heavy-duty pipe clips around the base tubing.

Netting is difficult to secure tightly.

Ensure the frame is correctly assembled and taut. Adjust the positioning of the netting clamps along the tubing to achieve optimal tension. Ensure the netting is spread evenly before clamping.

Frame parts seem to be missing.

Carefully check all packaging materials. Compare the parts received against the inventory list in the instruction manual. Contact customer support if parts are confirmed missing.

Difficulties during assembly.

Refer to the included clear instructions and diagrams. Ensure you are using the correct connectors for each joint. If assembling alone, consider using temporary supports or enlisting help for larger sections.

Pros and Cons

The walk-in design offers superior accessibility and working space compared to smaller cages.
Durable materials ensure longevity and resistance to weather conditions.

Cons

The 'Frame Only' option requires users to source their own netting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack: Lay out all components and check against the included instructions.
Assemble Frame: Connect the aluminum tubing using the provided steel connectors and tighten with the Allen key. Insert steel pegs into the ground to mark the desired cage footprint.
Position Frame: Place the assembled frame over the marked area, ensuring it sits securely on the pegs.
Attach Netting: Drape the chosen netting over the frame. Use the included netting clamps to secure the netting to the tubing, ensuring it is taut.
Final Check: Ensure all connections are tight and the cage is stable.

Compatibility:

Netting: Compatible with Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting (Black or Green), and Green Bird Netting. Also suitable for users providing their own netting.
Doors: Compatible with separately purchased door kits for easier access.
Ground Conditions: Best suited for level ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) for extra stability.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe down the aluminum tubing and steel joints with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Netting Maintenance: Regularly check netting for tears or damage and repair promptly. Ensure netting is kept free of debris.
Winter Storage: If possible, remove netting during harsh winter months to prevent damage from snow and ice. Store netting flat or loosely rolled in a dry place.
Snow: If snow is forecast, remove the roof netting to prevent structural stress.
