FAQs

What is the internal height of the cages?

The internal height of the Premium Walk-In Garden Cages is 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Do I need to purchase a door separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately. You can purchase a door kit to add convenient access to your cage.

What type of netting is best for protecting against butterflies?

The Soft Butterfly Netting, with a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, is specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on crops like brassicas.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please fill out the cage enquiry form or contact customer service for assistance.

How do I assemble the cage?

Assembly is straightforward with clear instructions provided. The kit includes aluminium tubing, steel joiners, pegs, cable ties, net clamps, and an Allen key.

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 based on the specific product variant chosen, or it can be ordered as frame-only.

What should I do if heavy snow is forecast?

If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent damage to the cage structure.

Troubleshooting

Cage structure feels unstable

Ensure all steel joiners are fully secured and the frame is properly pegged into the ground. Consider using heavy-duty pipe clips for added stability, especially in windy areas.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure the net clamps are correctly oriented and fully engaged with the aluminium tubing. Check that the netting is spread evenly before securing.

Pests are still accessing crops

Verify that the mesh size of the netting is appropriate for the pest. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting and that it is securely fastened to the ground or frame.

Parts are missing from the kit
