FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height is 1.9m (approximately 6 feet 3 inches), providing ample space to stand and work.

Can I buy a door for the cage separately?

Yes, door kits are available for separate purchase to provide convenient access.

What is the mesh size for the Bird/Fruit Netting?

The Bird/Fruit Netting has a mesh size of 20mm x 20mm. It effectively deters birds while allowing bees through for pollination.

What is the mesh size for the Soft Butterfly Netting?

The Soft Butterfly Netting has a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm. This fine mesh prevents cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

How do I care for the cage during winter?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent damage from the weight of accumulated snow.

Can I get a custom size cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow for potential lead times, especially during peak gardening seasons.

What materials are included in the kit?

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

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel pegs are securely hammered into the ground. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to anchor the frame more firmly.

Netting is difficult to attach.

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and cable ties. Gently pull the netting taut before securing to create a snug fit.

Purchased a 'No Netting' option but need netting.

You can purchase compatible netting separately or use your own preferred netting material, ensuring it is secured adequately to the frame.

Missing components.

Check the packaging thoroughly. If components are genuinely missing, contact customer support with your order details.
