FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The Premium Walk In Cages have an impressive internal height of 1.9m (6'3").

Do I need to buy a door separately?

Yes, doors are not included with the cage kit and must be purchased as a separate door kit if desired.

What type of netting is best for protecting against birds?

For birds, you can choose between the Bird/Fruit Netting with a 20mm x 20mm mesh or the Green Bird Netting with a 19mm x 19mm mesh. Both allow for bee pollination.

How do I protect my brassicas from butterflies?

The Soft Butterfly Netting, with a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, is designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please allow up to three days for a response regarding custom orders during peak times.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and instructions. Netting is included based on the option selected (or not included if 'Frame Only' is chosen).

How do I secure the cage in windy conditions?

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

What should I do if snow is forecast?

If snow is forecast, it is advisable to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from accumulating on the structure.

Troubleshooting

Cage frame feels unstable

Ensure all steel joiners are fully tightened and that the steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For windy areas, consider using heavy-duty pipe clips to anchor the frame more firmly.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps or cable ties correctly. For initial setup, it can be helpful to have a second person assist in holding the netting while you secure it.

Internal access is restricted

Remember that doors are sold separately. If easy in-and-out access is a priority, purchase a door kit. Otherwise, use the net clamps to lift and access the cage interior.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Doors are not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Premium Walk In Cage kit includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and instructions. Assembly involves connecting the aluminium tubes with the steel joiners to form the frame. Pegs are used to secure the frame to the ground. The netting is then attached using the provided net clamps or cable ties. Ensure all connections are secure before fully tensioning the netting.

Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various netting types offered by Gardening Naturally, including Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting, and Green Bird Netting. It can also be used with your own custom netting material if you choose the 'Frame Only' option. The cage can be further enhanced for stability in windy conditions by using heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure it to the ground.

Care: To maintain the cage, periodically check that all connections are tight and that the frame remains stable. If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent excessive weight from accumulating on the frame. Clean the aluminium tubing and netting with a damp cloth as needed. Store netting loosely to prevent damage if the cage is disassembled for off-season storage.
