Full details

This guide is for home gardeners seeking year-round protection for their fruit and vegetable crops. The key benefit is versatile, season-long pest and weather defense for plants in UK gardens. A potential caveat is the need to select the correct netting or cover for specific pest issues. These portable domed cages offer a lightweight, easy-to-move solution with an aluminium frame that assembles quickly. They provide structural rigidity with base and top rails, and are available with or without various netting options, including ultra-fine Veggiemesh, suitable for raised beds and open soil.

FAQs

What size are the cages?

All square portable domed cages measure 0.92m (3') high by 1.2m (3' 11") wide. They are available in six different lengths to suit various garden requirements.

Do I need to buy netting separately?

You can order the aluminium frame with or without netting. If you order without netting, you will receive the frame and joiners. Various cover options, including different types of netting, are available to purchase separately.

What is Veggiemesh insect mesh for?

Veggiemesh insect mesh is designed to protect vegetables from common pests such as cabbage root fly, carrot fly, pea moth, and aphids. The ultra-fine version stops even smaller pests like flea beetle and whitefly.

Can I use garden fleece with this cage?

Yes, garden fleece can be used as a cover. It's useful for warming the soil to encourage early crops or protecting tender plants from frost during colder months.

How easy is it to move the cage?

The cages are lightweight due to their aluminium frame and are designed for easy movement between garden beds. The rigid structure with base and top rails helps maintain shape when lifted.

What is included if I order a frame without netting?

If you order a frame without netting, you will receive the aluminium frame components and the necessary joiners to assemble the structure.

How do I clean the cage?

You can clean the aluminium frame and netting with water. Ensure all parts are dry before storing them to prevent damage or mold.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all base and top rails are correctly and firmly attached. Check that all joiners are fully inserted. For added stability, consider using ground stakes or securing the base rails to the ground, especially in windy areas.

Netting is not fitting securely.

Make sure the netting is the correct size for your frame. Utilize all provided U pins and clips to fasten the netting to the frame and along the base. Ensure the netting is taut but not overstretched.

Pests are still getting into the cage.

Verify that the chosen netting type is appropriate for the specific pest (e.g., ultra-fine Veggiemesh for smaller insects). Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or at the base and seal them securely. Ensure the netting is properly secured to the ground.

Aluminium frame appears bent or damaged.

Handle the frame components with care during assembly and relocation. If a piece is slightly bent, gently try to straighten it. Significant damage may require replacement of that specific component.
