Each cage fruit frame is built with 19mm aluminium poles joined by UV stabilised connectors and assembled with ease. The uprights push securely into the soil, keeping the structure steady without complicated tools. Domed Fruit And Vegetable Cages With Aluminium Frame These fruit cages are simple to put together and provide a strong frame for supporting different types of netting. The aluminium poles connect quickly and the UV stabilised joints ensure long lasting use. Once assembled, the uprights are pressed 30cm into the ground to give a stable structure that stands 1.88m tall and 1.2m wide. Fruit Cages With Netting Choices For Garden Protection Each cage fruit set comes with clips and steel pegs to secure your chosen cover in place. Options include bird netting with 20mm x 20mm mesh, black soft butterfly netting and green soft butterfly netting with 7mm x 5mm mesh, and green bird netting with 20mm x 20mm mesh. A frame only option is available if you prefer to use your own cover - this does not come with pegs or clips. Walk In Fruit Cages For Easy Garden Access Our domed fruit cages are designed as walk in structures, standing 1.88m high after the uprights are fixed into the ground. There is no fixed door, so access is made by unclipping and lifting the cover at your chosen entry point. This allows you to reach plants easily without complex openings. Cage Fruit Frame Sizes For Different Garden Needs Each domed cage fruit frame measures 1.2m wide and 1.88m high once assembled. We recommend setting the uprights 30cm into the ground to keep the structure steady. This size is suitable for protecting fruit bushes, vegetables and smaller fruit trees in garden plots or allotments.

The supplied clips attach the cover and the steel pegs secure it into the soil. Anchors may be added if you want extra stability, though they are not always required. Do The Fruit Cages Come With A Door? No, there is no fixed door. To access your plants, remove a few clips and pegs to create an opening. Can I Choose My Own Netting For The Fruit Cage? Yes, you can select the frame only option and use your own cover if preferred. How Tall Are The Domed Fruit Cages Once Assembled? The cages measure 1.88m high after the uprights are pushed 30cm into the soil. What Mesh Sizes Are Available With The Netting? Bird netting has 20mm x 20mm mesh.

FAQs
How do I access my plants inside the cage?
There is no fixed door. To access your plants, simply unclip and lift the netting at a chosen entry point.
What are the dimensions of the cage once assembled?
The cage measures approximately 1.2m wide and 1.88m high after the uprights are securely fixed 30cm into the ground.
Can I use my own netting instead of the options provided?
Yes, you can purchase the 'frame only' option and use your own preferred netting cover.
What mesh sizes are available for the netting?
Bird netting typically has a 20mm x 20mm mesh. Soft butterfly netting has a finer 7mm x 5mm mesh.
Is assembly difficult?
No, assembly is designed to be straightforward. The aluminium poles push together easily with the UV-stabilised connectors, and the uprights are pressed into the soil.
Do I need to anchor the cage?
Anchors are recommended for extra stability, particularly in areas prone to wind or if using heavier netting, though they are not always essential.
What material is the frame made from?
The frame is constructed from 19mm aluminium poles.
Troubleshooting
Cage is unstable
Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into the soil. Consider using additional anchors or pegs, especially in windy conditions or on softer ground.
Netting is difficult to secure
Ensure the netting is stretched taut before using clips and pegs. Adjust peg placement for optimal tension. Check that clips are fully engaged with the poles.
Aluminium poles are bent
Handle poles with care during assembly and disassembly. If a pole is significantly bent, it may need to be replaced. Contact customer support if necessary.
Connectors seem loose
Ensure poles are fully inserted into the connectors. The UV-stabilised connectors are designed for a snug fit; if a connection feels excessively loose, check for debris or damage.
