Product Information

Full details

This guide is for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking robust protection for their fruit and vegetable crops. The key benefit is a spacious, walk-in enclosure that shields produce from pests while allowing easy access for tending. A potential caveat is that doors are sold separately and custom sizes may incur a response delay. These cages are constructed from strong, black powder-coated aluminium tubing with galvanised steel joiners, offering durable pest protection.

FAQs

What is included in the kit?

Each kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included based on the variant chosen, or it can be purchased as a frame-only option.

Can I use my own netting?

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

Do I need to buy a door separately?

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

How do I choose the right netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) is suitable for soft fruits like strawberries. Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) is best for brassicas like cabbage. Green Bird Netting offers an alternative to black for blending into the garden.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The internal height is 1.9m (6'3"). The width and length vary depending on the specific model purchased, such as the 1.5m x 4.4m option mentioned.

Is it suitable for all garden types?

Yes, it is suitable for most garden types and is particularly recommended for exposed gardens. For areas with very high winds, consider adding extra ground anchoring.

How do I clean the cage?

The aluminium tubing can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure all connections are checked periodically.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened and that the steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For very windy areas, consider using additional heavy-duty pipe clips for extra ground anchoring.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps correctly to secure the netting to the frame. Try adjusting the tension of the netting as you attach it.

Parts are missing

Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are confirmed missing, contact customer support with your order details.

Difficulty lifting covers for access

Verify that the net clamps are attached correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the netting is not excessively taut, which could make lifting difficult.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against birds, butterflies, and other garden pests.
  • Generous internal height allows comfortable access for planting, weeding, and harvesting.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in various weather conditions.
  • Multiple netting options cater to specific pest and crop protection needs.
  • Simple to assemble with included instructions and all necessary parts.

Cons

  • Doors are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Custom size inquiries may have a response delay during peak seasons.
  • For very windy locations, additional heavy-duty pipe clips may be needed for enhanced stability.
  • Roof netting should be removed if heavy snow is forecast to prevent structural damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is straightforward and typically involves connecting the aluminium tubing using the provided steel connectors and Allen key. Insert steel pegs into the ground to secure the base. Use the included cable ties to attach the netting (if not using frame-only option) to the frame. Ensure all connections are tightened for stability. Clear instructions are provided with each kit.

Compatibility: This cage is designed for use in most garden environments. While it comes with netting options, the frame-only variant allows compatibility with custom netting materials. Ensure the chosen size fits your garden space.

Care: Keep the aluminium tubing clean with a damp cloth. Periodically check that all steel connectors remain tight. If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight accumulation on the frame. Store any removed netting in a dry place when not in use.
