FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of the Premium Walk In Cage is an impressive 1.9m (6'3").

Do I need to assemble the cage myself?

Yes, the cage comes as a kit with all necessary parts and instructions for self-assembly.

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.

Is a door included with the cage?

No, doors are sold separately as a door kit and are not included as standard with the cage.

What type of netting is best for protecting against butterflies?

The Soft Butterfly Netting with a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm is recommended for preventing cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

What is the mesh size for bird protection?

The Bird/Fruit Netting has a mesh size of 20mm x 20mm, which protects crops from birds while allowing bees to pass through for pollination.

How do I ensure the cage is stable in windy conditions?

For extra stability in windy areas, it is recommended to use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame.

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, you should remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from accumulating on the cage structure.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in wind.

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

Netting is difficult to attach.

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and that the tubing is correctly positioned. Refer to the instructions for specific guidance on netting attachment.

Pests are still accessing the crops.

Double-check that the chosen netting type is appropriate for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps in the netting or at the base of the cage. Verify the mesh size of the netting is suitable for the pest you are trying to exclude.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cage is designed for straightforward assembly. All necessary components, including aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs, netting, and instructions, are provided in the kit. Follow the included instructions carefully for assembly. For added stability, especially in windy locations, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips to secure the frame to the ground.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with various garden settings, including raised beds and allotments. While the cage itself is designed to work with its provided netting, users have the option to purchase a separate door kit if entry is desired.
