Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is included in the garden cage kit?

The 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 depending on the specific product variant chosen (e.g., Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting, or No Netting).

Can I use my own netting with this cage?

Yes, the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option allows you to use your own preferred netting material. The cage is designed to accommodate different types of netting.

How do I access the inside of the cage to tend to my plants?

The cage covers are not permanently fitted, allowing you to lift them for easy access. For more convenient entry and exit, a separate door kit can be purchased.

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of the Premium Walk-In Cages is an impressive 1.9m (6'3"), providing ample space to move around and work comfortably.

What type of netting should I choose?

Choose Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) for protection against birds while allowing pollinators in, ideal for soft fruits. Opt for Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassicas. Green Bird Netting (19mm x 19mm) is an alternative to black netting that blends with garden foliage.

Are custom sizes available?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow up to three days for a response during peak times if you need to make an enquiry.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent potential damage to the cage structure from the weight of the snow.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel pegs are securely hammered into the ground. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips to secure the frame to the ground or to stakes.

Netting is difficult to attach or is sagging.

Ensure the frame is square and stable. Adjust the netting clamps to achieve an even tension. For larger cages, a second person may be helpful during netting attachment.

The aluminium tubing appears discolored.

This is likely normal weathering. Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the powder coating.

Missing components upon arrival.

Carefully check all packaging. If components are still missing, contact customer support with your order details and a list of the missing items.
