Product Information

Full details

This guide is for home gardeners looking to protect their fruit bushes, young trees, and vegetables from birds and pests. The key benefit is a sturdy, easy-to-assemble protective structure with multiple netting options. A caveat is that the walk-in design does not have a fixed door, requiring manual unfastening for access. The product features an aluminium pole frame, UV-stabilised connectors, push-in ground uprights, and comes with various netting choices or a frame-only option.

FAQs

Do the fruit cages come with a door?

No, there is no fixed door. Access is gained by unfastening and lifting the netting at a chosen entry point.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, a 'frame only' option is available, allowing you to use your own cover. 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 frame?

Anchors are recommended for added stability, especially in exposed or windy conditions, but they are not always essential depending on your soil type and local weather.

How wide are the fruit cages?

Each domed cage fruit frame measures 1.2m wide.

What material are the poles made from?

The poles are made from 19mm aluminium.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable after setup.

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

Netting is sagging or loose.

Check that all clips are securely fastened to the frame poles. Re-tension the netting by adjusting the steel pegs around the base.

Pests are still getting into the cage.

Inspect the netting for any tears or gaps. Ensure the base of the netting is fully secured to the ground, with no gaps for small pests to enter.

Connectors seem difficult to assemble.

Ensure poles are fully inserted into the connectors. If they are stiff, a gentle, even pressure should suffice. Avoid forcing them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and simple assembly process.
  • Provides effective protection against birds and pests.
  • Sturdy construction with durable materials.
  • Ample height for easy access and harvesting.
  • Versatile netting options to suit different needs.
  • Lightweight aluminium frame is easy to maneuver.

Cons

  • No fixed door, requiring manual unfastening for access.
  • Netting may require occasional re-securing in high winds.
  • Uprighs need firm soil for optimal stability.
  • Frame-only option means netting and fixings must be sourced separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble the aluminium poles by connecting them with the UV-stabilised connectors.
  2. Once the frame is built, identify the upright poles.
  3. Push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil where you intend to place the cage. Ensure the ground is firm enough to support the structure.
  4. Drape your chosen netting over the frame, if not already integrated.
  5. Use the supplied clips to attach the netting securely to the frame poles.
  6. Use the steel pegs to anchor the base of the netting to the ground around the cage perimeter for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

  • This cage is designed for use with various fruit bushes, vegetables, and smaller fruit trees.
  • It is compatible with different types of netting offered by the brand, or a custom cover if you select the 'frame only' option.
  • Additional anchors can be purchased for enhanced stability, especially in areas prone to strong winds or on softer soil types.

Care:

  • Wipe down the aluminium poles with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect the UV-stabilised connectors periodically for any signs of wear.
  • Store netting indoors during the off-season to prolong its life.
  • Ensure the frame is clean and dry before storing if dismantled.
