Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Each cage kit comes with instructions, diagrams, and a list of contents. The 16mm upright poles are designed to be pushed into the soil to a depth of 300mm for stability. The 13mm crossbars connect the uprights and frame using supplied connectors (either ball joints or joiners). The chosen netting is then laid over the assembled frame and secured, typically with pegs. Ensure all parts are present before starting assembly.
Compatibility: These cages are compatible with various netting types offered by Gardening Naturally, including Bird Netting (Black and Green), Butterfly Netting, and Veggiemesh. The system is designed for standard garden soil. If you have very hard or rocky soil, preparation may be needed before inserting the uprights.
Care: The aluminium frame is rust-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Periodically check that the frame remains secure in the ground. Always follow the advice to remove netting if snow or high winds are forecast to prevent damage to the structure.
