FAQs

Do the fruit cages come with a door?

No, there is no fixed door. To access your plants, you can unclip and lift a section of the netting to create an opening.

Can I use my own netting with this cage?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available if you prefer to use your own cover. This option does not include netting, pegs, or clips.

How tall are the domed fruit cages once assembled?

The cages measure 1.88m high after the uprights are pushed 30cm into the soil.

What mesh sizes are available with the netting options?

The green bird netting has a 20mm x 20mm mesh. Soft butterfly netting options have a finer 7mm x 5mm mesh.

Do I need extra anchors for the cage fruit frame?

Anchors are recommended for added stability, particularly in areas prone to strong winds or if your soil is particularly soft, but they are not always essential.

How wide are the fruit cages?

Each domed cage fruit frame measures 1.2m across.

What material is the frame made from?

The frame is constructed from 19mm aluminium poles.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into the soil. For added stability, especially in windy areas, consider using additional ground anchors or stakes (not always included).

Netting is difficult to secure

Ensure clips are properly attached to both the frame and the netting. Use the steel pegs to anchor the netting firmly to the ground around the base of the uprights.

Frame poles are not connecting firmly

Check for any debris or obstructions within the pole ends or connector sockets. Ensure poles are fully inserted into the connectors.

Netting mesh allows small insects through

This model's green bird netting has a 20mm x 20mm mesh, suitable for birds. For smaller insects, consider purchasing a finer mesh netting option (e.g., soft butterfly netting with 7mm x 5mm mesh) separately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick assembly without specialized tools.
  • Sturdy construction with aluminium poles and UV-stabilised connectors.
  • Provides effective protection against a range of garden pests.
  • Walk-in design allows for convenient access to plants.
  • Multiple netting options available to suit specific needs.
  • Stable structure when uprights are securely fixed into the soil.

Cons

  • No fixed door; requires manual adjustment of netting for access.
  • May require additional anchors for optimal stability in very windy conditions or soft soil.
  • Specific size (1.2m wide x 1.88m high) may not suit all garden layouts.
  • Netting mesh size might be too large for very small pests if not selecting finer mesh options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the aluminium poles by connecting them using the provided UV-stabilised connectors.
  2. Determine the desired location for your cage.
  3. Push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil, ensuring the structure is level and stable.
  4. Drape the chosen netting over the assembled frame.
  5. Use the supplied clips and steel pegs to securely attach the netting to the ground poles and frame, creating a sealed environment.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most garden soil types, though additional anchoring is recommended for very loose or windy locations.
  • Can be used with different types of netting, including bird netting and butterfly netting (sold separately or included depending on the specific model).
  • Ideal for protecting fruit bushes, vegetable patches, and small fruit trees.

Care:

  • Clean the aluminium frame periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Ensure netting is free from tears or damage; repair or replace as needed.
  • Store netting loosely if removing for winter to prevent creases and damage.
  • Check frame connections for tightness before each growing season.
