This guide is for home gardeners looking to protect their fruit and vegetable crops from pests. The key benefit is providing a strong, yet lightweight, rust-resistant barrier to ensure a bountiful harvest. A caveat is that netting should be removed during heavy snow or high winds. These cages offer a customizable solution with various netting options to suit specific crop protection needs, featuring a durable aluminium frame that is quick and simple to assemble.

Once erected, the cages stand 1.2m high (approx. 3ft 11 inches) and are 1.2m wide (approx. 3ft 11 inches). The length varies based on the chosen option. The 16mm uprights are inserted 300mm into the soil, and the 1500mm long tubes form the frame, accounting for the insertion depth.
Yes, the "no netting" option is available if you already have your own netting. The covers are designed to be laid over the frame and pegged down, allowing flexibility.
Veggiemesh is designed to stop smaller insects that could damage your plants, such as aphids or flea beetles, offering protection beyond just birds and butterflies.
The netting is laid over the cage frame and secured to the ground using the provided pegs. It is not permanently fitted, making it easy to lift for access.
It is recommended to remove the netting from the cage structure to prevent potential damage to the frame or the netting itself.
Yes, Gardening Naturally offers links to higher garden cages or walk-in cage options if these standard 1.2m high cages do not meet your requirements.
The frame is made of strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant aluminium.
Bird netting is best for deterring birds, butterfly netting targets specific butterflies like the cabbage white, and Veggiemesh is for smaller insects. Consider what pests are most problematic for your specific fruits or vegetables.
Ensure the upright legs are pushed sufficiently deep into the soil (approx. 300mm). Check that all connectors are securely fastened between the crossbars and legs.
Use additional pegs to secure the netting more firmly to the ground around the base of the cage. Ensure the netting is taut but not overstretched.
Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with garden-safe tape or by careful stitching. For larger damage, consider replacing the netting section or the entire cover.
Refer to the diagrams in the instruction manual. Ensure you are using the correct connectors for the specified tubes (e.g., joiners for crossbars, balls for frame joints).
