Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners in the UK seeking year-round protection for their fruit and vegetable crops. The key benefit is versatile, portable protection against pests and weather. A caveat is that netting options need to be chosen based on specific pest threats. These cages feature a lightweight, aluminium frame that assembles quickly and can be moved between garden beds. They offer customizable protection with various cover options like insect mesh, butterfly net, bird netting, and garden fleece, all allowing air, light, and rain to pass through.

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 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 contact us at sales@gardening-naturally.com for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable.

Ensure all base and top rails are securely connected and that joiners are fully inserted. Check that any support bars for netting are correctly fitted.

Netting is not fitting securely.

Verify that you are using the correct clips and U pins as provided. Ensure the netting is taut but not over-stretched.

Pests are still getting through the netting.

Confirm you are using the appropriate netting for the pest (e.g., ultra-fine Veggiemesh for smaller insects). Ensure there are no gaps in the netting or at the base where it meets the ground.

Frame is difficult to move.

The frame is designed to be lightweight. Ensure all components are properly assembled and that the base rails are not digging into the soil. Lift using the rigid frame, not by pushing on the netting.
