FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the fruit cage?

The dimensions are 2 meters in length, 1 meter in width, and 1.6 meters in height.

What material is the frame made of?

The frame is made of heavy-duty, powder-coated steel.

What type of mesh is used?

The cage features a durable HDPE mesh cover.

How do I secure the bottom of the mesh cover?

The mesh cover has extended flaps that can be weighted down with soil, stones, or other heavy objects to create a seal against ground pests.

Is assembly difficult?

Assembly is required and should be done according to the provided instructions. It typically involves connecting frame pieces and securing the mesh.

Can this cage protect against insects?

The HDPE mesh is fine enough to deter most common garden insects and pests.

What is the benefit of the roll-up zipped door?

The zipped door allows for convenient and easy access to your plants for watering, pruning, and harvesting without needing to remove the entire cover.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure all frame connections are secure. Verify that the ground rods are fully inserted into the soil and that the U-shaped stakes are firmly in place around the base. Add extra soil or stones to weigh down the extended mesh flaps.

Mesh is torn or damaged

Inspect the mesh for any holes or tears. Minor tears may be repaired with strong, waterproof tape suitable for outdoor use. For significant damage, consider replacing the mesh cover.

Zipped door is difficult to open/close

Check for any obstructions caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure the frame is not misaligned, which can put stress on the door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly: This fruit cage requires assembly. Ensure all parts are present before beginning. Follow the included instructions to connect the steel frame pieces, attach the mesh cover, and secure the structure with the provided ground rods and U-shaped stakes.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for outdoor use, it is ideal for raised garden beds, allotments, and garden plots. Ensure the area where you plan to place the cage is relatively level.

Care: To maintain the cage, periodically check the frame for any signs of rust and clean the mesh with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled. Ensure the mesh is properly secured after each use to maximize its protective capabilities. Store in a dry place during the off-season if possible to prolong its lifespan.
