FAQs

Do these fruit cages protect against birds?

Yes, the cages supplied with bird netting are designed to effectively stop birds from eating your fruit and vegetables while still allowing bees to pollinate your plants.

Can I fit a wheelbarrow inside?

Yes, the wide door opening is designed to allow a standard wheelbarrow to pass through easily, making garden tasks more convenient.

Is the netting safe for garden wildlife?

Yes, the netting is designed with mesh sizes that protect crops while minimizing the risk of harm to birds and other wildlife. It allows bees to pass through for pollination.

Can I use this cage without any netting?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available if you wish to use your own preferred mesh or netting material.

Which netting is best for stopping cabbage white butterflies?

The soft butterfly and green soft butterfly netting options, featuring a 7mm x 5mm mesh, are specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from reaching your crops.

Should I take down the cage in winter or bad weather?

Yes, it is advisable to remove the roof section or dismantle the entire cage when heavy snow or strong winds are expected. This prevents damage from excessive weight or wind stress.

What is the height of the fruit cage?

All walk-in aluminium fruit cages have a standard height of 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Troubleshooting

Cage is not stable in windy conditions.

Ensure all ground anchors are securely installed. For persistent wind issues, consider purchasing and installing the recommended corner braces for added support.

Netting is not fitting securely.

Check that the correct clips are being used and are fully engaged with both the frame and the netting. Ensure the netting is taut before securing all clips.

Door is difficult to open or close.

Verify that the frame is square and not distorted. Ensure no netting is obstructing the door's path. Adjust the door frame alignment if necessary.

Frame appears wobbly.

Double-check that all aluminium poles are fully inserted into their connectors and that the connectors are tightly secured. Ensure ground anchors are firmly in the soil.
