FAQs

What is included in the garden cage kit?

Each kit includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included based on the specific option chosen, or the frame can be purchased without netting.

How do I choose the right netting for my crops?

For strawberries and soft fruits against birds, use Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh). For brassicas against butterflies, use Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh). Green Bird Netting (19mm x 19mm mesh) is an alternative for general bird protection that blends with foliage.

Can I purchase a door for the cage separately?

Yes, door kits are available for purchase separately to add convenient access to your walk-in cage.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

These cages are available in a range of widths and lengths. The internal height is consistently 1.9m (6'3"). Specific dimensions are listed with each product variant.

How do I secure the cage in windy conditions?

The cage comes with steel pegs for anchoring. For extra stability in windy areas, we recommend using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame to the ground.

What happens if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the cage structure.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please submit a cage enquiry form, and allow up to three days for a response during peak times.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable or wobbles in wind.

Ensure all steel joints are tightened securely with the provided Allen key. Verify that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For increased stability, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to anchor the frame more securely.

Netting is not fitting securely.

Check that the net clamps are correctly positioned and tightened onto the frame. Ensure the netting is taut but not overstretched. If using custom netting, ensure it is compatible with the clamp system.

Internal space feels cramped.

This cage features a standard internal height of 1.9m (6'3"). If more vertical space is required, consider alternative models or custom-build options that may offer greater height.

Snow damage to the structure.

Remove the roof netting before heavy snowfall is forecast. This prevents accumulated snow weight from stressing or damaging the frame and netting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward, with all necessary aluminium tubing, steel connectors, pegs, cable ties, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs provided. Follow the included instructions carefully. Steel pegs are used to anchor the frame into the ground. For additional security in windy areas, heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) are recommended to secure the structure to the ground more firmly.

Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various netting types offered by Gardening Naturally, including Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting, and Green Bird Netting. It can also be used with your own custom netting material if you choose the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option. Doors are available as separate purchases to enhance accessibility.

Care: Periodically check the structural integrity and ensure all connections are secure. Clean the aluminium tubing and netting with a damp cloth as needed. It is crucial to remove the roof netting during periods of heavy snowfall to prevent excessive weight from damaging the structure. Store netting components dry during the off-season if the cage is to be dismantled.
