FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of the Premium Walk-In Cage is 1.9m (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, you can purchase the 'Frame Only' option if you prefer to use your own netting material.

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

The netting covers are not permanently fitted, making them easy to lift for access. If you require a dedicated entrance, a separate door kit can be purchased.

Which netting should I choose for protecting my brassicas?

For brassica crops like cabbage, the Soft Butterfly Netting with a 5mm x 7mm mesh is recommended to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs.

What maintenance is required for the cage?

Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth periodically. Inspect netting for damage and store components in a dry place during the off-season for best results.

Are custom sizes available?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please contact Gardening Naturally for a response, noting that up to three days may be required during peak times.

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.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

It is recommended to remove the roof netting when heavy snow is forecast to prevent the structure from being damaged by the weight of the snow.

Troubleshooting

Cage wobbles or feels unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. Verify that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For very windy conditions, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) for added stability.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps correctly. Try adjusting the tension of the netting by slightly shifting the frame or re-clamping the netting at different points.

Parts seem to be missing

Carefully re-check the packaging. If parts are genuinely missing, contact Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details.

Frame appears damaged upon arrival

Do not attempt assembly. Contact Gardening Naturally customer support immediately with details and photos of the damaged parts.
