Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure your 27mm aluminium tubing is cut cleanly and free from burrs or sharp edges that could prevent a smooth insertion into the joiner. Slide the tubing into the connector until it is fully seated. For added permanence, some users may choose to use a self-tapping screw or adhesive compatible with powder-coated aluminium to fix the joint in place. Compatibility is strictly limited to 27mm outer-diameter powder-coated aluminium poles. To care for the component, wipe it down annually with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris, and check the tightness of the connections before the start of the planting season to ensure the cage remains rigid.
