FAQs

What is the height of the walk-in cage?

The cage stands at 1.9m (6ft 3in) high, providing ample space for comfortable movement inside.

Can a wheelbarrow fit inside the cage?

Yes, due to the wide door opening, a standard wheelbarrow can fit inside the cage.

What type of netting is included with this 'Green Bird Netting' model?

This model includes green bird netting with 20mm x 20mm mesh on both the sides and the roof, designed to deter birds while allowing pollinators like bees to pass through.

How do I protect the cage in strong winds or snow?

For strong winds, consider adding corner braces. During heavy snow, the roof section can be removed. In extreme weather, it is recommended to dismantle and store the cage.

Is this cage suitable for protecting against small insects?

While this specific model has bird netting, other variants with fine mesh netting (e.g., 7mm x 5mm) are available and act as a barrier against small insects and cabbage white butterflies.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details.

Can the door be fitted on any side?

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all ground anchors and fittings are securely in place. For increased stability in windy areas, consider adding corner braces (sold separately).

Netting is sagging or not fitting tightly.

Check that the netting is correctly attached to all points of the frame and pulled taut during installation. Ensure the correct size netting for your chosen frame dimensions is being used.

Assembly is difficult.

Refer to the included assembly instructions. Ensure all parts are laid out before starting. The lightweight poles and connectors are designed for straightforward assembly.

Netting appears damaged upon arrival.

Carefully inspect all components upon receipt. Contact customer support with details of the damage if the netting or frame parts are faulty.
