FAQs

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The internal height is 1.9m (6'3"). The cage is available in various widths and lengths, such as 2m wide by 4.4m long for this specific model. Custom sizes may also be available upon request.

Does the cage come with a door?

No, doors are sold separately. You can purchase a door kit to integrate with the cage structure if a dedicated entrance is required.

What is the difference between the netting types?

Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) deters birds but allows pollinators. Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) is very fine and prevents butterflies from laying eggs on brassicas. Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) is an alternative to black netting that blends into the garden.

Can I use my own netting?

Yes, the 'Frame Only' option is available if you prefer to use your own netting material. The included net clamps and cable ties should allow you to attach most types of netting.

How do I secure the cage in windy conditions?

The cage includes steel pegs for anchoring. For added stability in high winds, we recommend using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to further secure the frame to the ground.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If heavy snow is expected, it is advised to remove the roof netting. This will prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the cage structure.

How easy is it to access the plants inside the cage?

The cage has a generous 1.9m internal height, allowing comfortable movement. The netting covers are designed to be easily lifted for tending to plants and harvesting.

What materials are used in the construction?

The cage is constructed from 27mm black powder-coated aluminium tubing and galvanised steel joints and connectors for durability and weather resistance.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened and that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For very windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to further secure the frame to the ground.

Netting is sagging or loose

Check that the cable ties and net clamps are used correctly and tightened sufficiently. You may need to adjust the tension by re-securing the clamps or adding more ties. Ensure the netting is the correct size for the frame.

Difficulty assembling a specific joint

Refer to the included instructions for detailed diagrams. Ensure the correct tubing pieces are being used for each part of the frame. Sometimes a gentle twist or slight adjustment of the tubing can help it fit into the connector.

Netting mesh seems too large for specific pests

Consider the type of pest you are trying to deter. For smaller insects like aphids or specific butterfly eggs, a finer mesh netting (like the Soft Butterfly Netting) may be required. If you have the frame-only option, ensure you select appropriate netting material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components and check against the included instructions.
  2. Assemble the frame using the aluminium tubing, steel connectors, and Allen key provided. Ensure all joints are secure.
  3. Insert the steel pegs into the ground to anchor the cage frame.
  4. Drape the chosen netting over the frame. Use the included cable ties and net clamps to secure the netting to the tubing, ensuring a snug fit without excessive tension.
  5. Fit the end bungs to any exposed tube ends as directed.

Compatibility:

  • This cage is designed to be compatible with various netting types, including those supplied and potentially custom materials if they can be securely fastened.
  • Doors are available separately and are designed to integrate with the cage structure.
  • Heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) can enhance stability in high-wind areas.

Care:

  • Regularly check that the netting is securely attached and that the frame remains stable.
  • If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent structural damage from accumulated weight.
  • Clean the aluminium tubing and steel components with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store netting during the off-season in a dry place to prolong its life.
