FAQs

What is the primary material of the cage frame?

The frame is constructed from strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant aluminium.

How tall is the fruit and vegetable cage once erected?

The cages stand 1.2m (approximately 3 feet 11 inches) high once erected.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, you can purchase the cage kit with 'no netting' if you already have your own preferred netting.

What is the recommended method for securing the netting?

The netting is laid over the cage and typically secured with pegs driven into the ground around the base.

What types of netting are available?

Available options include bird netting (black or green), butterfly netting, and Veggiemesh for smaller insects.

Do I need to remove the netting in certain weather conditions?

Yes, it is advised to remove the netting if snow or high winds are forecast to prevent damage to the cage structure.

Are there options for taller or walk-in cages?

Yes, Gardening Naturally offers links to higher garden cages or walk-in cage options, or you can explore building your own.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable

Ensure the uprights are pushed sufficiently deep into the soil (at least 300mm). Check that all connectors are securely fastened.

Netting is difficult to cover the cage

Ensure the frame is assembled square. For larger cages, it may be easier with two people to drape the netting.

Pests are still getting into the cage

Check for any gaps in the netting or where it meets the ground. Ensure netting is securely pegged down around the base.

Frame components seem loose

Verify that the correct connectors are used for the respective tube sizes (16mm uprights, 13mm crossbars) and that they are fully engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting aluminium construction.
  • Versatile with various netting options for different pest problems.
  • Easy to assemble without specialized tools.
  • Allows essential sunlight and rain to reach plants.
  • Provides protection against a range of garden pests.
  • Lightweight and easy to move or adjust if needed.

Cons

  • Netting must be removed in severe weather (snow/high winds).
  • Uprights need to be pushed into the soil for stability, may not be suitable for hard surfaces.
  • Netting is laid over the cage and pegged, not fitted, which might be less secure in very strong winds if not properly secured.
  • Walk-in or higher cage options require separate purchases or custom builds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack your kit and identify all components using the provided list and diagrams. The 16mm uprights (legs) should be pushed approximately 300mm into the soil for stability. Connect the 13mm crossbars to the legs using the provided connectors (balls or joiners). Once the frame is assembled, drape the chosen netting over the structure and secure it with pegs, ensuring it covers the sides and top.

Compatibility: These cages are designed for use in garden beds, allotments, or any area where the uprights can be secured into the ground. They are compatible with various netting types offered by Gardening Naturally, ensuring you can select the best protection for your specific crops.

Care: The aluminium frame is rust-resistant and requires minimal care. Periodically check that the connectors are secure. Clean the frame and netting with water as needed. Always store netting rolled or folded neatly when not in use to prevent damage. Remember to remove the netting if snow or high winds are forecast to protect the structure.
