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 happens if the standard sizes don't fit my garden?

If these sizes are not suitable, you can create your own using our hoops and accessories or email sales@gardening-naturally.com, and they will work out a solution for you or use our cage enquiry form.

Troubleshooting

Frame feels unstable

Ensure all base and top rails are securely connected and tightened. Check that all joiners are fully engaged.

Netting is sagging

Verify that support bars (if applicable) are correctly positioned and that the netting is properly secured with U pins and clips. Adjust tension as needed.

Cage not fitting intended area

Double-check the selected cage length against the dimensions of your growing area. For custom fits, consider contacting Gardening Naturally for advice on hoops and accessories.

Cover not effectively blocking pests

Ensure the cover is the correct type for the specific pest (e.g., ultra-fine mesh for smaller insects). Check for any gaps or tears in the netting and repair them.
