FAQs

What are the dimensions of the cage?

The cage is available in various widths and lengths. The internal height is consistently 1.9m (6'3"). Please refer to the specific product title for exact dimensions.

What is included in the kit?

Each kit includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for the tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included unless 'No Netting - Frame Only' is selected.

Can I use my own netting?

Yes, you can choose the 'No Netting - Frame Only' option if you prefer to use your own netting material.

How do I choose the right netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) is suitable for birds and soft fruit. Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) is best for preventing butterflies on brassicas. Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) is an alternative to black bird netting.

Is a door included?

No, doors are sold separately. You can purchase a separate door kit if needed.

How do I clean the cage?

The aluminium tubing can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure all components are dry before reassembly or storage if dismantling.

What should I do in case of heavy snow?

If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the structure.

How long does assembly take?

Assembly time varies depending on the size of the cage and your experience, but it is designed for straightforward setup. Clear instructions are provided.

Troubleshooting

Frame appears unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all steel connectors are securely fastened. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to anchor the frame more firmly to the ground.

Netting is difficult to attach.

Check that the net clamps are correctly positioned on the frame tubing and that the netting is taut before securing. Ensure you are using the correct type of netting for your specific pest concern.

Aluminium tubing is dented or bent.

While the tubing is robust, avoid applying excessive force during assembly or use. Minor dents typically do not affect structural integrity, but significant damage may require replacement parts.

Accessing plants within the cage is cumbersome.

The netting is designed to be lifted via the net clamps for easy access. For more frequent or easier entry, consider purchasing a separate door kit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward, with clear instructions provided. The kit includes all necessary aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs. Begin by assembling the frame according to the diagrams, securing joints with the provided connectors and pegs. Attach the chosen netting using the included net clamps.

Compatibility: This cage is designed for use with a variety of garden crops, including soft fruits, vegetables, and brassicas. It is compatible with optional door kits sold separately. For enhanced stability in windy conditions, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame to the ground.

Care: Regularly inspect the netting and frame for any damage. Clean the aluminium tubing with a damp cloth as needed. If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from accumulating on the structure. The netting can be easily lifted using the net clamps for access to your plants. Ensure the frame is securely anchored, especially in exposed locations.
