FAQs

What types of netting are available and what are they best used for?

Available options include Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) for protecting soft fruits from birds while allowing pollination, Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) to deter cabbage white butterflies, and Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) as an alternative that blends with garden foliage. A 'Frame Only' option is also available if you wish to use your own netting.

Can I purchase a door for the cage separately?

Yes, door kits are available for purchase separately. Please check the product details for availability.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The cage has an internal height of 1.9m (6'3"). It is available in various widths and lengths, such as 1.5m x 2m, 1.5m x 4.4m, 1.5m x 5m, and 2m x 3.708m. Please refer to the specific product variant for exact dimensions.

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, and assembly instructions. Netting is included unless you select the 'Frame Only' option.

How do I assemble the cage?

Assembly involves connecting the aluminium tubing with steel connectors, securing the frame with pegs, and attaching the netting using the provided clamps and ties. Clear instructions are included with each kit.

What should I do in case of heavy snow?

If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent the build-up of excessive weight, which could damage the cage structure.

Can I get a custom size cage?

Custom sizes may be available. Please inquire directly with the manufacturer or retailer for custom size options and lead times.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Use the provided steel pegs to anchor the frame securely into the ground. For extra stability, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) around the tubing where it enters the ground.

Netting is difficult to attach or sags.

Ensure the frame is assembled correctly and is square. Pull the netting taut during attachment and use the net clamps and cable ties provided to secure it firmly. Check that the frame is properly anchored to prevent movement while tensioning.

Birds/pests are still getting into the cage.

Verify that the chosen netting mesh size is appropriate for the pest you are trying to exclude. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting and that it is securely fastened to the ground along the base.

Component missing or damaged.

Contact the retailer or manufacturer with your order details. Refer to the parts list in the instructions to identify the missing or damaged item.
