What are the available mesh sizes for the netting?
Bird netting options have a 20mm x 20mm mesh. Soft butterfly netting options have a 7mm x 5mm mesh.
Are anchors necessary for the cage fruit frame?

What is the typical assembly time?

Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable after assembly.
Ensure the upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into firm soil. If the ground is soft or very windy, consider using additional ground anchors (not always supplied) for extra stability.
Netting is difficult to attach.
Ensure the frame is fully assembled and stable. Use the provided clips evenly spaced around the frame. For initial placement, it can be helpful to have a second person assist in holding the netting taut.
Pests are still getting into the cage.
Check for any gaps or holes in the netting. Ensure the netting is securely pegged down at the base to prevent pests from crawling underneath. Verify that the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the pests you are trying to exclude.
Connectors are stiff or difficult to join.
Ensure the poles are clean and free of debris. Gently twist the pole while pushing it into the connector. If resistance persists, check for any manufacturing defects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Assembly:
Identify and connect the aluminium poles using the UV-stabilised joiners to form the domed frame.
Once the frame is assembled, push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil. Ensure the structure is stable and level.
If you have purchased a cage with netting, drape the netting over the frame.
Use the provided clips to attach the netting securely to the aluminium poles.
Use the steel pegs to anchor the bottom edge of the netting into the ground around the base of the cage.
Compatibility:
This cage is designed for outdoor garden use.
It is compatible with various types of netting, including those sold separately or provided with specific kits.
The frame can accommodate different ground types, but stability may be enhanced with additional anchoring in very windy or loose soil conditions.
Care:
Clean the aluminium poles and connectors with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Inspect the netting periodically for wear and tear. Replace if significantly damaged.
During winter or periods of non-use, consider dismantling the cage and storing the components in a dry place to prolong their lifespan, especially the netting.
