FAQs

What is included in the garden cage kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, netting (depending on selection), and assembly instructions.

Can I buy a door for this cage?

Yes, doors are available but are sold separately. You will need to purchase a door kit to add this functionality.

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height is an impressive 1.9m (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

How do I choose the right netting for my plants?

For birds and general pests on soft fruits, use Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm or 19mm). For preventing butterflies from laying eggs on brassicas, use the finer Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm).

Is this cage suitable for very windy locations?

The cage is robust, but for extra stability in particularly windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure it to the ground.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please note that custom size requests may require up to three days for a response during peak times.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, it is advisable to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from causing damage to the cage structure.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all steel connectors are tightened fully. For very windy areas, use heavy-duty pipe clips to secure the frame to the ground.

Netting is sagging or loose

Re-tighten the netting clamps and cable ties. Ensure the netting is pulled taut during installation.

Difficulty inserting tubing into connectors

Ensure there are no obstructions or debris inside the tubing ends. Slight wiggling may help.

Pests are still getting into the cage

Check the netting for any tears or gaps. Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground all around the base.

Spacious interior allows for easy access and working within the cage.

Cons

Doors are not included and must be purchased separately.
Custom size requests may have a slight delay in response.
May require additional fixings (like heavy-duty pipe clips) for extreme wind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack all components and verify against the included instructions.
Assemble the main frame using the aluminium tubing and steel connectors. Ensure all connections are secure.
Attach the chosen netting using the provided netting clamps and cable ties.
Insert end bungs into open tube ends.
For windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame to the ground.

Compatibility:

Netting: Compatible with Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm), Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm), Green Bird Netting (19mm), or can be used with your own netting material.
Doors: Compatible with separately purchased door kits.
Foundations: Suitable for most garden soil types. Ensure a level base for optimal stability.

Care:

Regularly check that all connections are tight and the netting is secure.
Clean the aluminium tubing and steel components with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
During winter or periods of heavy snow, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent potential structural damage.
Store netting rolled or folded neatly if the cage is to be partially dismantled during the off-season.
