Product Information

Full details

This heavy-duty walk-in fruit and vegetable cage from Gardening Naturally is designed for gardeners seeking robust protection for their crops. Its primary benefit is safeguarding fruits and vegetables from pests like birds and butterflies, while the ample 1.9m height allows comfortable access for tending plants. A key consideration is that doors are sold separately and must be purchased as an additional kit. The cage is constructed from strong, black powder-coated aluminium tubing with galvanised steel joints, offering durability and stability. It is available in various sizes and netting options to suit different needs.

FAQs

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height of the walk-in fruit and vegetable cages is 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Are doors included with the cage?

No, doors are not included with the standard cage kit. A separate door kit must be purchased if you require an entrance.

What types of netting are available?

Gardening Naturally offers Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh), Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh, black or green), and Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh). You can also purchase the frame only.

How do I choose the right netting?

Bird/Fruit Netting is good for general bird protection on soft fruits. Soft Butterfly Netting is ideal for brassicas to prevent egg-laying. Green Bird Netting offers a more natural look while providing bird protection.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes may be available. Please fill in the cage enquiry form, and allow up to three days for a response during peak times.

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, end bungs for tubes, and assembly instructions. Netting is included if ordered with it.

How should I prepare the ground for the cage?

The cage is designed to be placed over steel pegs inserted into the ground. Ensure the area is relatively level and clear of large obstructions where you intend to position the cage.

What maintenance is required?

Periodically clean the frame with a damp cloth. Check connections for tightness. Remove netting in case of heavy snow. Store components dryly during the off-season.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in wind

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips (sold separately) to secure the frame to the ground or nearby structures.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps and cable ties. Try stretching the netting slightly taut before securing it at various points. Refer to the instructions for specific guidance on net clamp usage.

Missing components

Carefully check all packaging. If components are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or Gardening Naturally customer support with your order details.

Frame does not sit level

Adjust the positioning of the steel pegs in the ground, ensuring they are at the correct depth and spacing as per the instructions. You may need to slightly adjust the ground level.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Clean the aluminium tubing and steel connectors periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent structural damage from the weight of accumulated snow.
  • Store netting loosely rolled or folded in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan. Ensure the frame is clean before storage.
  • Periodically check all connections for tightness and integrity.
