Is a door included with the cage?
No, doors are sold separately. You will need to purchase a separate door kit if you require one.
What are the dimensions of the cage?
The cage is available in various widths and lengths. The specific model referenced has an internal height of 1.9m (6'3"). Please check the product title or specifications for exact width and length dimensions.
How do I assemble the cage?

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

What should I do if heavy snow is forecast?
If snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting. This prevents excessive weight from accumulating on the frame, which could cause damage.
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, netting (unless 'Frame Only' is selected), and assembly instructions.
Troubleshooting
Cage is unstable in windy conditions.
Ensure all steel connectors are tightened securely. Use the provided steel pegs to anchor the frame firmly into the ground. For increased stability, consider purchasing and installing heavy-duty pipe clips.
Netting is difficult to attach.
Ensure you are using the provided netting clamps and cable ties correctly. Make sure the frame is fully assembled and stable before attaching the netting. Refer to the included instructions for specific details on clamp placement.
Internal space feels cramped.
The cage features a 1.9m internal height, which is standard for walk-in designs. Ensure the frame is assembled to its full height specification. If more space is needed, consider available larger models or custom sizing.
Birds or pests are still getting into the cage.
Check the netting for any tears or gaps, and repair them immediately using cable ties or appropriate repair tape. Ensure the netting is securely fastened to the ground around the base of the cage to prevent entry from below.
