FAQs

What is the height of the cage once assembled?

The fruit and vegetable cages stand 1.2m (approximately 3ft 11 inches) high once erected.

How deep do the legs go into the ground?

The 16mm uprights (legs) are designed to be pushed into the soil to a depth of 300mm (approximately 1ft).

Can I use my own netting with this cage?

Yes, you can choose the 'no netting' option if you already have your own preferred netting.

What types of pests does the Veggiemesh protect against?

Veggiemesh is designed to stop smaller insects that could damage your plants, such as aphids and flea beetles.

How is the netting attached to the cage?

The netting is laid over the cage and secured with pegs. It is not fitted tightly, making it easier to remove for access to your crops.

What should I do if severe weather is expected?

If snow or high winds are forecast, it is recommended to remove the netting to prevent potential damage to the cage structure.

Is the frame resistant to rust?

Yes, the frame is made of aluminum, which is naturally rust-resistant and built to last for many seasons.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable after setup.

Ensure the upright legs are pushed sufficiently deep into the soil (at least 300mm). Check that all connectors are securely fastened. If on very soft ground, consider adding extra pegs or supports.

Netting is not staying in place.

Ensure the netting is adequately pegged down around the base of the cage. If using a very large cage, consider using additional pegs or weights along the edges.

Frame appears to be bending or flexing excessively.

Double-check that all crossbars and connectors are properly assembled and tightened. Ensure the cage is not overloaded with heavy climbing plants that exceed its structural capacity. Remove netting during high winds.

Parts are missing or damaged upon arrival.

Contact the retailer or manufacturer with your order details and a description of the missing/damaged parts for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Each kit includes all necessary aluminum tubes, connectors, and instructions. The 16mm uprights (legs) should be pushed approximately 300mm into the soil. Use the provided connectors (ball joints or joiners) to assemble the frame by connecting the 13mm crossbars to the legs. Finally, drape the chosen netting over the erected frame and secure it with pegs. Ensure the netting is taut but not overly stretched.

Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various garden layouts and crop types. The 'no netting' option allows users to integrate their own preferred netting solutions. Multiple size options are available, so choose a size that best fits your garden space and planting area.

Care: The aluminum frame is rust-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check that the frame is stable. The netting should be kept clean. *Important*: If heavy snow or strong winds are forecast, it is recommended to remove the netting to prevent damage to the cage structure.
