Product Information

Full details

This guide is for home gardeners looking to protect their fruit and vegetable crops from pests. The key benefit is a strong, rust-resistant aluminium frame that offers customizable netting options for various threats, ensuring a bountiful harvest. A key consideration is that the netting is not fitted but laid over the cage, requiring removal during heavy snow or high winds.

FAQs

What is the height of the fruit and vegetable cages?

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

What are the uprights made of and how are they secured?

The uprights are 16mm tubes made of aluminium. They are pushed into the soil approximately 300mm deep for stability.

Can I choose different types of netting?

Yes, you can choose from bird netting (black or green), butterfly netting, or Veggiemesh. There is also an option to purchase without netting if you have your own.

Is the netting permanently attached?

No, the netting is laid over the cage and pegged down. It is not fitted, making it easy to remove for access to your plants.

What should I do if heavy snow or strong winds are expected?

You should remove the netting if snow or high winds are forecast to prevent damage to the cage structure.

Are there larger or walk-in cage options available?

Yes, higher garden cages and walk-in cage options are available. You can also explore options to build your own custom cage.

How is the netting secured to the frame?

The netting is laid over the assembled frame and typically secured to the ground using pegs. This method allows for easy lifting and removal.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable

Ensure uprights are pushed securely into the soil to the recommended depth. Check that all connectors are firmly in place.

Netting is difficult to fit

The netting is designed to be laid over the frame, not fitted tightly. Ensure the frame is fully assembled and square before draping the netting. Loosen the netting slightly if needed and secure with pegs around the base.

Pests are still accessing crops

Verify that the correct type of netting is being used for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps in the netting coverage, particularly at the base where it meets the ground. Check if the netting is damaged.

Frame parts missing

Refer to the contents list provided in your kit. If parts are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for replacements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Robust and long-lasting aluminium construction
Versatile netting choices cater to specific pest issues
Simple to assemble, even for novice gardeners
Promotes healthier plant growth by balancing protection and environmental exposure
The loose netting design facilitates easy access for garden maintenance

Cons

Netting requires manual removal during severe weather (snow, high winds)

Requires separate purchase of netting if 'no netting' option is chosen and existing netting is not compatible

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Each cage kit comes with clear instructions, diagrams, and a list of all included components. The uprights (16mm tubes) are designed to be pushed approximately 300mm into the soil for stability. The 13mm crossbars connect to these uprights using supplied connectors (like ball joints or joiners), forming the frame. Finally, the chosen netting is draped over the assembled frame and secured, typically with pegs (not always included, check kit contents). Assembly is designed to be quick and straightforward.

Compatibility: These cages are designed for outdoor garden use. The netting options are compatible with the aluminium frame structure. Ensure you select the netting type that best suits the pests you are trying to deter in your specific growing environment. The cages are suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, and salad greens.

Care: The aluminium frame is rust-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. It is crucial to remove the netting if snow or high winds are forecast to prevent damage to the structure or netting itself. Store components dry when not in use for extended periods.
