Product Information

Full details

This Marshalls Garden Vegetable Cage Starter Kit is designed for allotment holders and home gardeners seeking to protect their fruits and vegetables from larger pests like pigeons and crows without using chemicals. Its key benefit is providing season-long, robust crop protection in a simple-to-assemble package. A potential caveat is its fixed size, suitable for up to a 1.2 x 1.2 m area, which may not fit larger garden plots.

FAQs

What size area does this kit cover?

The Marshalls Garden Vegetable Cage Starter Kit is designed to fit an area up to 1.2 meters by 1.2 meters.

What types of pests does it protect against?

It effectively protects fruit and vegetables from larger pests such as pigeons and crows, and can also deter smaller deer.

Is the netting durable?

The netting is UV-stabilised and designed for season-long crop protection, but should be inspected for damage periodically.

How easy is it to assemble?

The kit is designed for quick and simple assembly, including all necessary poles, connectors, netting, and ground pegs.

Can I extend the cage?

This starter kit is designed for a fixed size. Extension or modification is not part of the standard kit, but additional kits might be available.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 1-month warranty.

Is the netting fine enough for insects?

The netting is primarily designed for larger birds and pests. For protection against smaller insects, finer mesh may be required.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all ground pegs are firmly inserted into the soil. Consider adding extra pegs or weights around the base for increased stability.

Netting appears too loose or saggy.

Adjust the tension by re-securing the netting to the frame, ensuring it is pulled taut before pegging it down. Check that poles are fully inserted into connectors.

Pests are still getting through the netting.

Inspect the netting for any holes or gaps. Ensure the netting is fully secured to the ground all around the base to prevent entry from below.

Components do not fit together easily.

Verify that you are using the correct poles and connectors for the intended joints. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points.
