Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Premium Walk In Cage is designed for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking robust protection for their fruits and vegetables. Its primary benefit is providing ample, accessible space to protect crops from pests like birds and butterflies, while allowing for easy tending. A potential caveat is that doors are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase if desired. This cage features heavy-duty construction with steel joiners and powder-coated aluminum tubing, offering significant internal height for comfortable movement and plant care. It is available in various sizes and with different netting options to suit specific crop protection needs.

FAQs

What type of netting is best for protecting against butterflies?

The 'Soft Butterfly Netting' with a 5mm x 7mm mesh size is specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on crops like brassicas, while still allowing for good air circulation.

Can I use this cage without netting?

Yes, you can purchase the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option if you prefer to use your own netting material or if you only need the structural frame for another purpose.

How do I access the inside of the cage to tend to my plants?

The cage comes with net clamps that allow you to lift sections of the netting for access. If a more convenient entry is desired, a separate door kit can be purchased.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

This cage is available in various widths and lengths. The specific model mentioned in the title is 2m x 3m, with an internal height of 1.9m (6'3"). Please check the product description for available sizes.

Is assembly difficult?

The cage is designed for simple assembly with clear instructions included. All necessary components, including an Allen key, are provided.

What should I do if heavy snow is forecast?

If heavy snowfall is expected, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the cage structure.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow up to three days for a response regarding custom orders, especially during peak times, and use the cage enquiry form.

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting, and instructions.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all steel joiners are fully connected and secured. Verify that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For added stability, especially in windy areas, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure the net clamps are correctly positioned on the tubing. If the netting is tight, try slightly adjusting the frame tension. Ensure you are using the correct size netting for your cage frame.

Pests are still accessing crops

Check the netting for any gaps or tears and repair them immediately. Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground around the base of the cage to prevent entry from below. Verify that the mesh size of your netting is appropriate for the pests you are trying to exclude.

Component is missing or damaged

Contact Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details and a description of the missing or damaged part. Refer to the included instructions for a parts list.
