Product Information

Full details

This domed fruit and vegetable cage by Gardening Naturally is designed for home gardeners looking to protect their fruit bushes, young trees, and vegetables from birds and pests. Its key benefit is providing a sturdy, easy-to-assemble protective structure with UV-stabilised connectors for long-lasting use. A potential caveat is that access is gained by manually unfastening netting, rather than a fixed door.

FAQs

Do the fruit cages come with a door?

No, there is no fixed door. Access is gained by unclipping and lifting the cover at the desired entry point.

Can I use my own netting with this cage?

Yes, a frame-only option is available, allowing you to use your own cover if preferred. This option does not include pegs or clips.

How tall are the domed fruit cages once assembled?

The cages measure 1.88m high after the uprights are pushed 30cm into the soil.

What mesh sizes are available with the netting?

Bird netting has a 20mm x 20mm mesh. Soft butterfly netting options have a 7mm x 5mm mesh.

Are anchors necessary for the cage fruit frame?

Anchors (pegs) are supplied to secure the netting. Additional anchors for the frame itself are recommended for extra stability but not always essential, depending on soil type and weather.

How wide are the fruit cages?

Each domed cage fruit frame measures 1.2m across.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable

Ensure the upright poles are pushed at least 30cm into firm soil. Consider using additional anchors or pegs for extra stability, especially in windy locations or on softer ground.

Netting is difficult to attach

Make sure the clips are fully engaged with both the netting and the aluminium poles. Check that the netting is taut but not overstretched.

Pest still getting into the cage

Verify that the netting is secured tightly around the base and that there are no gaps or holes in the netting material. For smaller pests, consider using a netting option with a finer mesh size (e.g., 7mm x 5mm).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick assembly with push-fit components.
  • Sturdy construction provides reliable pest protection.
  • Multiple netting options available to suit specific needs.
  • Walk-in design allows for comfortable access for maintenance and harvesting.
  • UV-stabilised parts ensure durability against the elements.

Cons

  • No fixed door; requires manual unfastening of netting for access.
  • Requires pushing uprights into soil for stability, which may not suit all ground types.
  • Netting mesh sizes might not deter all types of pests (e.g., smaller insects with larger mesh).
  • Frame-only option requires separate purchase of netting and securing clips/pegs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly involves connecting the 19mm aluminium poles using the provided UV-stabilised connectors. Once the frame is built, the upright poles should be pushed approximately 30cm into the soil to secure the structure. Use the supplied clips to attach your chosen netting to the frame and secure the netting to the ground using the steel pegs.

Compatibility: This cage is designed for use with various types of netting offered by the manufacturer, including bird and butterfly netting. A frame-only option is available if you wish to use your own custom netting.

Care: To maintain the cage, periodically check the aluminium poles and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the netting gently with water if it becomes soiled. Ensure the uprights remain firmly in the soil; re-anchor if necessary, especially after strong winds.
