FAQs

Do Walk In Fruit Cages protect from birds?

Yes, fruit cages supplied with bird netting are designed to effectively stop birds from eating your fruit and vegetables. The netting's mesh size allows pollinators like bees to pass through for plant fertilization.

Can a wheelbarrow fit inside the Aluminium Fruit Cage?

Yes, the cage is designed with a wide door opening that allows a standard wheelbarrow to pass through with ease, making it convenient for garden tasks.

Is the netting safe for wildlife?

Yes, the netting is specifically designed to protect crops while minimizing the risk of harm to birds and other wildlife. It allows for pollination while deterring pests.

Can I use the Aluminium Fruit Cage without netting?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available, allowing you to add your own preferred mesh or netting material to the fruit cage structure.

What type of netting stops Cabbage White Butterflies?

The soft butterfly and green soft butterfly netting options, featuring a 7mm x 5mm mesh, are specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from reaching your crops.

Should I take down my fruit cage in winter?

It is recommended to remove the roof section or dismantle the fruit cage when strong winds or heavy snow are expected to prevent damage from accumulating weight or force.

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The cage stands at a height of 1.9m (6ft 3in) and is available in various lengths and widths to suit different garden sizes.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable.

Ensure all poles are fully inserted into connectors. Verify that ground anchors and pegs are securely fastened into the soil. For windy locations, consider adding corner braces.

Netting is difficult to attach.

Check that you are using the correct clips and that they are securely fastened to both the netting and the frame poles. Ensure netting is taut but not overly stretched.

Door does not close properly.

Verify the frame is square and stable. Adjust the position of the door frame if necessary, ensuring it aligns correctly with the main structure.

Netting is damaged.

Inspect the netting for tears or holes. Small repairs can sometimes be made with UV-resistant tape or suitable netting repair kits. For significant damage, the netting may need replacement.

  • Easy assembly with included fittings.
  • Durable construction with aluminium frame and UV-stabilised connectors.
  • Adaptable to different garden sizes and crop types with various netting options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward. Unpack all components, including aluminium poles, connectors, ground anchors, netting, clips, and steel pegs. Follow the provided instructions to construct the frame, ensuring poles are securely fitted into the UV-stabilised connectors. Use the ground anchors and pegs to fix the frame firmly into the soil. If using a particular netting option, attach it securely using the provided clips.

Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various garden layouts and is designed to accommodate standard garden tools, including wheelbarrows. For gardens in exposed or particularly windy areas, consider purchasing and installing additional corner braces for enhanced stability.

Care: The aluminium frame requires minimal care; a wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. The netting may benefit from occasional cleaning to remove debris or algae. Periodically check that all connectors are secure and that ground anchors remain firmly in place. During winter or periods of expected heavy snow or high winds, it is recommended to remove the roof section or dismantle the cage entirely to prevent damage to the frame or netting.
