FAQs

What is the height of the cages once erected?

The cages stand 1.2m (approximately 3 feet 11 inches) high once erected.

Can I use my own netting with this cage?

Yes, you can choose the 'no netting' option if you already have your own netting that you wish to use.

What is the purpose of Veggiemesh?

Veggiemesh is designed to stop smaller insects, such as those that damage cabbage plants, from reaching your crops.

How deep should the uprights be pushed into the soil?

The 16mm uprights should be pushed into the soil to a depth of approximately 300mm (about 1 foot) for stability.

What should I do if heavy snow is forecast?

If snow or high winds are forecast, it is recommended to remove the netting to prevent damage to the cage structure.

Are the covers fitted to the cage?

No, the covers (netting) are not fitted, which makes them easy to lift for working on your garden beds.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is made of strong, lightweight, and rust-resistant aluminium.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable

Ensure the uprights are pushed sufficiently deep into the soil (approx. 300mm). Check that all connectors are securely fastened.

Netting is sagging

Re-peg the netting, ensuring it is pulled taut. Check for any obstructions that might be preventing a tight fit. For larger cages, consider having a second person assist in stretching the netting.

Netting torn

Repair small tears with strong tape or needle and thread suitable for outdoor fabrics. For significant damage, consider replacing the netting.

Frame components missing

Contact customer support with your order details and a list of the missing components.

Setup:

Push the uprights approximately 300mm into the soil to secure the base.
Use the provided connectors (ball connectors or joiners) to attach the crossbars to the uprights, forming the frame.
