This guide is for home gardeners aiming to protect their fruit and vegetable crops from pests and birds. The key benefit is a sturdy, customizable, and easy-to-assemble cage that allows sunlight and rain to reach plants while keeping unwanted visitors out. A caveat to be aware of is the need to remove netting during heavy snow or high winds. These cages feature a robust aluminium frame, multiple netting options (bird, butterfly, Veggiemesh, or no netting), and are designed for simple setup and long-term use across seasons. Available in various sizes, they provide an effective solution for safeguarding your harvest.

The cages stand 1.2m (3ft 11 inches) high once erected. The exact length and width vary depending on the specific kit size chosen. The 16mm uprights are pushed 300mm into the soil.
You can choose from bird netting (available in black or green), butterfly netting (black and green), Veggiemesh for smaller insects, or opt for a kit with no netting if you already have your own.
Assembly is quick and simple. Each kit includes all necessary aluminium tubes, connectors, and netting, along with clear instructions and diagrams. The uprights are pushed into the soil, and the frame is built using the provided connectors.
No, the netting is laid over the cage and pegged down. It is not permanently fitted, which makes it easy to lift for access to your plants and to remove during adverse weather conditions.
If snow or high winds are forecast, it is essential to remove the netting. This prevents the netting from accumulating weight and potentially damaging or collapsing the cage structure.
This guide covers standard 1.2m high cages. For higher garden cages or walk-in options, or to explore custom solutions, please refer to specific product links or the cage enquiry form provided by Gardening Naturally.
No, the netting is designed to allow sunlight and rain to pass through to your plants, ensuring they receive the necessary elements for healthy growth while still being protected from pests.
Ensure the upright legs are pushed at least 300mm into the soil. Check that all connectors are securely fastened. For very loose soil, consider using additional anchoring methods if necessary.
Ensure the netting is adequately stretched over the frame and securely pegged around the base. Use extra pegs if needed, especially in windy areas. Avoid over-stretching the netting.
Verify that the correct type of netting is being used for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the netting and that it is properly secured at the base.
The netting is designed to be loose-fitting. Ensure you are lifting it from the top edge and that it is not snagged on plants. For larger cages, a second person may assist in lifting.
Setup: Each kit comes with all the necessary components, including aluminium tubes, connectors (build a balls or joiners), and your chosen netting. Follow the included instructions and diagrams for assembly. The 16mm upright tubes are designed to be pushed approximately 300mm into the soil for stability. Connect the 13mm crossbars to the uprights using the provided connectors. Once the frame is assembled, lay the netting over the cage and secure it using pegs, ensuring it covers the structure completely.
Compatibility: These cages are suitable for most garden settings where the uprights can be securely anchored in the soil. They are compatible with various types of fruit and vegetable crops, from low-growing berries to taller plants, depending on the chosen size. Different netting options are available to suit specific pest problems.
Care: The aluminium frame is rust-resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Keep the netting clean and check for any tears or damage before each season. Important: If heavy snow or high winds are forecast, it is crucial to remove the netting to prevent the cage structure from collapsing or being damaged.
