FAQs

What size crops is this cage best suited for?

The base cage is ideal for low-growing crops like brassicas (cabbage, kale), lettuce, spinach, strawberries, and other salad crops. It can be extended for taller plants.

Do I need any tools to assemble this cage?

No, the cage is designed for tool-free assembly. It uses easy-fit connector balls to join the aluminium tubes.

Can I make the cage bigger?

Yes, the cage is modular and can be easily extended upwards and outwards using compatible extension kits, sold separately.

What is the cage made of?

The frame is constructed from high-grade, powder-coated, weatherproof aluminium tubing, and the netting is typically a fine mesh material.

How do I clean the fruit cage?

The aluminium frame is weatherproof. The mesh netting can be wiped down with a damp cloth if needed.

What is the guarantee period?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Can this cage be used over raised beds?

Yes, the design allows it to be fitted directly into the ground or placed over raised garden beds.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all tube and connector joints are fully pushed together. Use additional pegs to secure the base firmly to the ground, especially in windy areas.

Netting is difficult to fit

Ensure the frame is the desired size before attaching the netting. If an extension is planned, it's easier to add it to the frame *before* covering with netting.

Pests are still getting in

Check the base of the netting to ensure there are no gaps between the netting and the ground. Secure the netting tightly around the base with pegs.

Missing components

Double-check all packaging. If components are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer with your proof of purchase.
