Each cage fruit frame is built with 19mm aluminium poles joined by UV stabilised connectors and assembled with ease. The uprights push securely into the soil, keeping the structure steady without complicated tools. Domed Fruit And Vegetable Cages With Aluminium Frame These fruit cages are simple to put together and provide a strong frame for supporting different types of netting. The aluminium poles connect quickly and the UV stabilised joints ensure long lasting use. Once assembled, the uprights are pressed 30cm into the ground to give a stable structure that stands 1.88m tall and 1.2m wide.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

How do I secure the cage to the ground?
The upright poles are designed to be pushed 30cm into the soil for stability. The netting is secured using the supplied clips and steel pegs.
Are additional anchors necessary for stability?
Anchors are recommended for added stability, especially in windy areas or if your soil is very loose, though they are not always essential.
Troubleshooting
Cage feels unstable in the soil
Push the upright poles deeper into the soil (ensure they reach the full 30cm recommended depth). For added stability, consider using garden anchors (sold separately) or securing the base with extra pegs.
Netting is sagging or loose
Adjust the clips and pegs to re-tension the netting. Ensure all connection points are taut. Check that the frame is correctly assembled and stable.
Pests are still getting into the cage
Inspect the netting carefully for any tears or gaps, especially around the base and at connection points. Ensure all clips and pegs are securely fastened to create a complete seal.
Difficulty pushing poles into hard ground
Lightly water the area where the poles will be inserted to soften the soil. Alternatively, use a rubber mallet to gently tap the poles into place.

Push the upright poles approximately 30cm into the soil to form the base of the structure. Ensure they are firmly seated for stability.
Drape your chosen netting over the assembled frame.
Use the supplied clips and steel pegs to attach the netting to the ground and secure it around the poles, ensuring there are no large gaps.

Care:
After the growing season, clean the poles and connectors with a damp cloth.
