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.

Yes, you can select the frame only option and use your own cover if preferred. How Tall Are The Domed Fruit Cages Once Assembled?

Once assembled and the uprights are fixed 30cm into the ground, the cage measures approximately 1.88m high and 1.2m wide.
What mesh sizes are available for the netting options?

Do I need to use anchors with this cage?
Anchors are recommended for added stability, especially in exposed or windy locations, but they are not always essential depending on your soil type and local conditions.
Is assembly difficult?
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. The aluminium poles push together easily with the UV-stabilised connectors, and the netting is secured with simple clips and pegs.
Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable
Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into firm soil. Consider using additional garden anchors for increased stability, especially in windy areas.
Netting is difficult to attach
Check that the aluminium poles are fully connected. Ensure clips are properly aligned with the poles before fastening.
Pests are still entering the cage
Verify that the netting is securely fastened to the ground with the steel pegs and that there are no gaps along the base. Ensure the mesh size is appropriate for the pests you are trying to exclude.
Connectors seem loose
Push the aluminium poles firmly into the UV-stabilised connectors. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the connection points.
