Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners seeking to protect their fruit bushes, young trees, and vegetables from birds and pests. The key benefit is a sturdy, easy-to-assemble protective enclosure. A caveat is that access requires manually lifting the netting rather than a fixed door. The Domed Fruit and Vegetable Cages feature an aluminium frame, UV-stabilised connectors, and secure ground insertion for stability. Options include various netting types or a frame-only choice.

FAQs

How do I access my plants inside the cage?

There is no fixed door. To access your plants, simply unclip and lift the netting at your desired entry point.

Can I use my own netting or cover?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available, allowing you to use your own preferred cover material.

What are the assembled dimensions of the cage?

Once assembled and uprights are fixed 30cm into the ground, the cage measures approximately 1.88m high and 1.2m wide.

What mesh sizes are available for the netting?

Bird netting options have a 20mm x 20mm mesh. Soft butterfly netting options have a 7mm x 5mm mesh.

Do I need to anchor the cage?

The uprights are designed to be pushed into the soil for stability. Anchors are recommended for added security, particularly in exposed or windy locations, but are not always essential.

Is assembly difficult?

No, assembly is designed to be straightforward using a 'slot-in' joiner system with the aluminium poles.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into the soil. Consider using additional anchors or pegs, especially in windy areas or softer soil conditions.

Netting is sagging or loose

Adjust the tension by re-securing the clips or pegs. Ensure the frame is evenly positioned before fully attaching the netting.

Connectors are difficult to join

Check for any debris in the pole ends or connectors. Ensure poles are aligned correctly before applying pressure.

Netting is torn

Repair small tears with suitable garden tape or netting repair kits. For significant damage, consider replacing the netting cover.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick to assemble with no special tools required.
  • Provides effective protection against birds and pests.
  • Sturdy construction with durable aluminium poles and UV-resistant connectors.
  • Walk-in design allows for comfortable access to plants.
  • Choice of netting types and sizes to suit different needs.
  • Stable structure once securely fixed into the ground.

Cons

  • Requires manual lifting of netting for access, as there is no fixed door.
  • May require additional anchors in very windy locations or soft soil.
  • Netting mesh sizes might not deter all types of garden pests.
  • The frame-only option requires users to source and attach their own cover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the aluminium poles by slotting them together using the UV-stabilised connectors.
  2. Once the frame is built, position it over your desired area.
  3. Push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil to secure the structure. Use the provided steel pegs to further anchor the base if needed.
  4. Attach your chosen netting cover using the supplied clips, ensuring it is taut.

Compatibility:

This cage is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden soil types. It can be used to protect a wide range of plants including fruit bushes (e.g., raspberries, currants), vegetables (e.g., lettuce, beans, tomatoes), and young trees.

Care:

Clean the aluminium poles and connectors with a damp cloth as needed. Ensure netting is free from debris. Store the cage indoors during harsh winter months to prolong its lifespan, especially if opting for the frame-only version. Check clips and pegs periodically for wear and tear.
