FAQs

What are the dimensions of each assembled cage?

Each cage has overall dimensions of approximately 32 cm in length, 29 cm in width, and 116 cm in height (L x W x H).

How many cages can be made from one set?

The delivery contains 36 vertical bars and 36 cross bars, allowing for the creation of multiple smaller cages or fewer larger structures, depending on the desired configuration.

What material are the tomato cages made of?

They are made of steel with a PE coating for durability and corrosion resistance.

Can I adjust the height of the cages?

Yes, the DIY design allows you to adjust the height and shape of the cages as your plants grow.

Are these cages suitable for flowers as well as vegetables?

Yes, they are versatile and suitable for a variety of plants including tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, flowers like roses and orchids.

Do I need any tools for assembly?

The design features snap-on arms, suggesting assembly requires no special tools. However, a gentle tap from a soft mallet might be useful in some cases.

How should I insert the cages into the ground?

The bottom of the stakes features a tip design specifically for easy insertion into the soil. Push them firmly into the ground to secure the structure.

Troubleshooting

Cages feel unstable in the soil.

Ensure the tip design is fully inserted into the soil, at least several inches deep. For very loose soil, consider adding extra soil around the base or using additional stakes for support.

Bars are difficult to snap together.

Check for any debris or obstructions in the connection points. Ensure the bars are aligned correctly before applying pressure. Sometimes a gentle tap can help secure the connection.

PE coating appears to be peeling or damaged.

If the coating is slightly damaged, monitor the area for rust. Minor damage may not affect structural integrity. If significant damage occurs, consider replacing the affected component to prevent further corrosion.

The overall structure is not rigid enough for heavy plants.

Ensure all snap-on connections are fully secured. For extremely heavy plants, consider using multiple cages to distribute the weight or augmenting the structure with additional stakes or ties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to steel with PE coating.
  • Adjustable design allows for customization of height and shape.
  • Easy to install with snap-on arms and soil-inserting tips.
  • Suitable for a variety of plants beyond just tomatoes.
  • Corrosion-resistant for extended outdoor use.

Cons

  • Requires assembly before use.
  • The green color may not blend seamlessly with all garden aesthetics.
  • Individual cage dimensions might be limiting for very large or sprawling plants without combining multiple units.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is required. The package includes 36 vertical bars and 36 cross bars. Users will need to connect these bars according to their desired configuration, utilizing the snap-on arms. The bottom of the stakes feature a tip design for easy insertion into the soil. Ensure the cages are placed firmly in the ground before or during plant growth.

Compatibility: These cages are compatible with a wide variety of garden plants that have stems and vines, including tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, peas, peppers, eggplant, roses, orchids, and other flowering plants. They are suitable for use in home gardens, allotments, greenhouses, and agricultural land.

Care: To ensure longevity, periodically clean the cages with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. While the PE coating provides corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the coating. Store the cages in a dry place during the off-season if possible.
