FAQs

What is included in the Premium Walk-In Cage kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for the tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is usually included based on the chosen option, but doors are sold separately.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes may be available. Please use the cage enquiry form or contact customer service for inquiries about custom dimensions.

What is the difference between Bird/Fruit Netting and Soft Butterfly Netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting has a 20mm mesh size, effective against birds while allowing bees for pollination. Soft Butterfly Netting has a finer 5mm x 7mm mesh, designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassicas while maintaining air circulation.

How do I access the inside of the cage for tending plants?

The netting is attached using clamps, allowing you to lift sections of the netting for easy access to the plants within. Doors are also available as a separate purchase for more convenient entry and exit.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

It is recommended to remove the roof netting when heavy snow is forecast to prevent the buildup of excessive weight, which could damage the cage structure.

Is this cage suitable for exposed or windy locations?

The cage is designed for stability, but for particularly windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to further secure the frame to the ground.

How tall is the internal space?

The internal height of the Premium Walk-In Cages is an impressive 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame.

Netting is not staying in place.

Check that the net clamps are correctly fitted and tightened around the tubing and netting. Ensure the netting is pulled taut before securing.

Difficulty assembling a specific joint.

Refer to the instruction manual. Ensure the aluminium tubing is fully inserted into the steel connectors. Use the Allen key to ensure all bolts are securely tightened.

Birds/butterflies are still accessing crops.

Verify that the chosen netting mesh size is appropriate for the pest. Ensure there are no gaps or tears in the netting and that the cage is fully enclosed, including at the base.

Pros and Cons

Durable construction with high-quality aluminium and steel components.
Excellent internal height for comfortable access and working within the cage.
Effective protection against common garden pests like birds and butterflies.
Multiple netting options to suit different crop types and pest concerns.
Relatively easy to assemble with clear instructions provided.

Cons

Doors are sold separately and are not included in the standard kit.
May require additional heavy-duty pipe clips for enhanced stability in very windy locations.
The covers are not permanently fitted, requiring manual lifting for access.
Specific dimensions and color options may vary, requiring careful selection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward, with all necessary parts included. Follow the provided instructions carefully. Use the Allen key for tightening connectors and the steel pegs to secure the frame to the ground. Netting is attached using the provided net clamps, which allow for easy lifting for access.

Compatibility: The cages are designed for use in most garden and allotment settings. Ensure you choose the correct size for your intended area. The frame is compatible with various netting types, including the specifically designed Bird/Fruit Netting and Soft Butterfly Netting. Doors are available as a separate purchase if desired.

Care: Regularly check that all connections are secure. If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight buildup, which could damage the structure. Clean the frame and netting periodically with a damp cloth as needed.
