FAQs

Can the Square Portable Domed Cages be used in raised beds?

Yes, these cages fit well in raised beds and open soil. Their light frame makes them simple to move between growing areas as required.

Do the base and top rails help with strength?

Yes, both base and top rails keep the cage rigid and stable. This means it holds its shape when lifted or moved, even with covers attached.

Which netting is best for protecting against insects?

Veggiemesh insect mesh blocks most garden pests, while ultra-fine Veggiemesh is ideal for smaller insects such as whitefly and flea beetle.

Are the frames supplied with all fittings?

Frames ordered with netting include support bars, U pins, and clips. Orders without netting include the aluminium frame and joiners only.

Can I use garden fleece and netting together?

Yes, fleece can be used in winter for warmth and replaced with netting in spring or summer. The same frame supports both types of cover.

How many length options are available?

All square portable domed cages are 0.92m high and 1.2m wide and come in six different lengths. Choose the size that best fits your growing area.

What should I do if I need a custom size?

If the standard lengths are not suitable, you can create your own size using our hoops and accessories, or contact us at sales@gardening-naturally.com for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Frame feels unstable

Ensure all base and top rails are securely connected with their joiners. Verify that support bars (if using netting) are correctly inserted.

Netting is sagging or not fitting well

Check that support bars are in place and that U pins and clips are used to secure the netting tautly to the frame. Ensure the correct size netting for the frame length is used.

Insects or birds are still reaching crops

Verify that the selected netting type is appropriate for the pest. Ensure there are no gaps where the netting meets the ground or overlaps.

  • Lightweight construction ensures easy portability around the garden.
  • Sturdy frame design maintains shape even when covered and moved.
  • Multiple netting options allow for tailored pest control.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the aluminium frame by connecting the base and top rails using the provided joiners.
  2. If netting was purchased, attach support bars, then secure the netting to the frame using U pins and clips.
  3. Place the assembled cage over your desired crop area.

Compatibility:

  • These cages are suitable for use on open ground, raised beds, and allotments.
  • Frames can be ordered with or without netting. If ordering without netting, ensure you have suitable covers or are using the frame for fleece protection only.
  • Compatible covers include Veggiemesh, ultra-fine Veggiemesh, soft butterfly net, anti-bird netting, and garden fleece.

Care:

  • Wipe the aluminium frame with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt.
  • Store netting and fleece covers clean and dry to prolong their lifespan. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays when not in use.
  • Check connections periodically to ensure the frame remains rigid.
