FAQs

Do the fruit cages come with netting?

The product description indicates that options include various netting choices, a frame-only option, or specific netting types with the frame. Please refer to the specific product listing for the included netting.

How do I access my plants inside the cage?

The cage features a walk-in design without a fixed door. To access your plants, you will need to unclip and lift a section of the netting at your chosen entry point.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

Once assembled and the uprights are fixed 30cm into the ground, the cages measure 1.88m high and 1.2m wide.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available, which does not include netting, clips, or pegs, allowing you to use your own preferred cover.

What mesh sizes are available 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 frame?

Anchors are recommended for added stability, particularly in exposed or windy locations, but they are not always essential depending on your soil type and local conditions.

How deep should the uprights be inserted into the soil?

It is recommended to push the upright poles securely 30cm into the soil to ensure the structure remains stable.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into the soil. For added stability, especially in windy areas or on softer ground, consider using additional anchors or pegs.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the correct clips provided with the cage. Check that the netting is taut but not overstretched. Sometimes adjusting the frame slightly can help.

Aluminium poles do not fit together

Check for any debris or damage inside the pole ends or connectors. Ensure you are using the correct poles for the corresponding connectors as per the assembly design.

Netting is flapping excessively in the wind

Secure the edges of the netting more firmly to the ground using additional pegs or by weighing down the edges with stones or soil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and simple to assemble with no specialised tools.
  • Lightweight yet robust aluminium construction.
  • Adaptable with different netting choices to suit specific pest concerns.
  • Generous dimensions provide ample space for plants and easy access.
  • UV-stabilised connectors ensure long-term durability.

Cons

  • No fixed door requires manual unfastening for entry.
  • May require additional anchors in very windy conditions for maximum stability.
  • Netting must be purchased separately if the frame-only option is chosen.
  • Uprights need to be pushed into the soil, which might not be suitable for all ground types without preparation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components: aluminium poles, connectors, and chosen netting (if applicable).
  2. Connect the aluminium poles using the UV-stabilised connectors to form the domed frame.
  3. Position the assembled frame in your desired garden location.
  4. Push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil to secure the structure.
  5. If using netting, attach it to the frame using the provided clips. Secure the netting to the ground with the steel pegs.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with various netting types, including bird netting and soft butterfly netting.
  • Frame-only option allows use with custom or existing netting.
  • Suitable for most garden soil types when uprights are securely inserted.

Care:

  • Wipe down aluminium poles with a damp cloth if they become dirty.
  • Store netting flat or loosely rolled when not in use to prevent damage.
  • Inspect connectors periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the cage is clean before storing to prevent mildew on the netting.
