FAQs

What is the internal height of the cages?

The internal height of the Premium Walk-In Cages is an impressive 1.9 meters (approximately 6 feet 3 inches).

Do I need tools to assemble the cage?

Assembly requires the included Allen key for tightening the steel connectors. Basic tools might be helpful for ground preparation, but are not strictly required for the cage assembly itself.

Can I get a cage in a different size?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please use the cage enquiry form or contact customer support. Please note that custom sizes may have a lead time.

What types of netting are available and what do they protect against?

We offer Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh) for birds and soft fruit, Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh) for cabbage white butterflies, and Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh) as an alternative to black netting. A 'No Netting - Frame Only' option is also available.

Is a door included with the cage?

No, doors are sold separately as a door kit. You can add this option during your purchase.

What happens if snow falls on the cage?

If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting. The netting is not permanently fitted, making it easy to lift or remove to prevent excessive weight from damaging the structure.

What components are 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 unless you select the 'Frame Only' option.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in wind.

Ensure all steel connectors are fully tightened. Use the provided steel pegs to anchor the frame securely. Consider purchasing and installing heavy-duty pipe clips for additional ground stability.

Netting is difficult to attach.

Ensure you are using the correct net clamps as provided. Make sure the netting is laid out flat before attempting to secure it. Cable ties can offer supplementary attachment points.

Pests are still entering the cage.

Check for any gaps or holes in the netting or at the base of the cage. Ensure the netting is adequately secured to the ground. Verify you are using the appropriate mesh size for the specific pest you are trying to exclude.

Aluminium tubing is bent.

Minor bends may not affect structural integrity. If a component is severely damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement parts. Avoid placing excessive weight on the frame.
