How do I assemble the cage?
The cage is designed for simple assembly with clear instructions provided. It includes aluminum tubing, steel connectors, pegs, netting clamps, cable ties, an Allen key, and end bungs.
Can I use my own netting?
Yes, the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option allows you to use your own preferred netting material.
What should I do if snow is forecast?
If heavy snow is anticipated, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from damaging the structure.
How do I get a custom size cage?
For custom sizes, please use the cage enquiry form. Please allow up to three days for a response during peak times.
How can I ensure stability in windy conditions?
The cage comes with steel pegs for ground anchoring. For extra stability in particularly windy areas, we recommend using heavy-duty pipe clips to further secure the frame.
Troubleshooting
Cage wobbles or feels unstable
Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. Verify that the steel pegs are firmly inserted into the ground. For very windy locations, consider adding extra ground anchoring or using heavy-duty pipe clips.
Netting is difficult to attach
Check that the correct netting clamps are being used for the tubing size. Ensure the netting is spread evenly before securing it. Use the provided cable ties for additional fastening points if needed.
Tubes do not fit together snugly
Confirm you are using the correct connectors for the specific tubes. Ensure there is no debris or damage at the connection points. Gently tap the tubes together if needed, but avoid excessive force.
Netting becomes damaged
Minor tears can often be repaired with strong tape suitable for outdoor use or by sewing. For significant damage, consider replacing the netting section or the entire netting kit.
