Product Information

Full details

This guide is for home gardeners and allotment holders looking to protect their fruit and vegetables from pests. The key benefit is providing a spacious, robust enclosure that keeps birds and butterflies out while allowing easy access for tending to crops. A potential caveat is that doors are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the cage kit if desired. The premium walk-in cages are constructed with durable 27mm black powder-coated aluminium tubing and galvanised steel joints, offering ample 1.9m internal height for comfortable movement. Options include various netting types (bird, soft butterfly, or no netting) to suit different crop protection needs.

FAQs

What is the internal height of the cages?

The internal height of these premium walk-in cages is 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Do I need to buy a door separately?

Yes, doors are not included in the standard cage kit and must be purchased as a separate door kit if required.

What is the difference between Bird/Fruit Netting and Soft Butterfly Netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting has a 20mm x 20mm mesh, ideal for keeping birds away from soft fruits while allowing pollination. Soft Butterfly Netting has a finer 5mm x 7mm mesh, specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

Can I use my own netting material?

Yes, the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option is available if you prefer to use your own netting material.

How do I clean the cage structure?

You can clean the aluminium tubing and steel joints with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if heavy snow is forecast?

It is recommended to remove the roof netting during heavy snowfall to prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the cage structure.

Are custom sizes available?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please note that there might be a response delay of up to three days during peak times for custom size requests.

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 (unless 'No Netting' option is chosen), and assembly instructions.

Troubleshooting

Cage is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all steel joints are securely fastened and that the structure is adequately pegged into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips.

Netting is difficult to attach or sags

Ensure the netting is stretched tautly before securing it with the provided net clamps and cable ties. Check that the frame is square and level.

Pests are still getting into the cage

Verify that the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the pest you are trying to exclude. Check for any gaps or tears in the netting and secure them promptly. Ensure the base of the netting is securely anchored to the ground.

Parts are missing from the kit

Double-check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer with your proof of purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly involves connecting the 27mm aluminium tubing with the provided galvanised steel joints and pegs. The kit includes an Allen key and cable ties for securing components. Follow the included instructions carefully for a straightforward build. Ensure the cage is placed on level ground.

Compatibility: These cages are designed to accommodate various netting types, including specific Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting, and Green Bird Netting. A 'No Netting' option is also available if you wish to use your own material. Doors are available for separate purchase if needed. For increased stability in windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately).

Care: To maintain the longevity of the cage, it is recommended to clean the aluminium tubing and steel joints periodically with a damp cloth. In winter, or if heavy snow is forecast, it is advisable to remove the roof netting to prevent structural damage from snow load. Ensure all connections remain secure.
