FAQs

What size pests does this cage protect against?

This cage is designed to protect against larger garden pests such as pigeons and crows, and in rural areas, it can also deter smaller deer.

Is the netting included with the kit?

Yes, all necessary components are included, including poles, connectors, netting, and pegs.

Can this cage be used for fruit bushes?

Yes, the versatile height of the cage allows it to protect various crops, including lower-lying fruit bushes.

How do I connect the aluminium poles?

The poles connect using the provided UPVC connectors. Ensure they are pushed together firmly for a secure fit.

What material is the cage frame made of?

The frame is constructed from lightweight, robust aluminium tubing.

How do I clean the cage?

You can clean the aluminium poles and UPVC connectors with a damp cloth. Ensure the netting is also kept clean to prevent disease spread.

What if I need to cover a larger area?

For larger areas, you can purchase additional kits and connect them or arrange them adjacent to each other to create a larger protected zone.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure all poles are fully inserted into connectors and that the netting is securely pegged to the ground, tautly applied to the frame.

Pests are still getting into the cage.

Inspect the netting for any holes or gaps. Ensure the netting is tucked under or pegged securely all around the base to prevent entry.
