FAQs

What is the internal height of the cages?

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

Do I need to buy doors separately?

Yes, doors are sold separately as a door kit. The cage is supplied with net clamps for access.

What type of netting is best for protecting against cabbage white butterflies?

The Soft Butterfly Netting, with a mesh size of 5mm x 7mm, is specifically designed to prevent cabbage white butterflies from laying eggs on brassica crops.

Can I get a cage in a size not listed?

Custom sizes are available. Please contact customer support or use the cage enquiry form for a quote and response.

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, and assembly instructions. Netting is included based on the specific model chosen.

How should I prepare the cage for winter or snow?

If heavy snow is forecast, it is recommended to remove the roof netting to prevent the weight of the snow from damaging the cage structure.

Can I use my own netting with this frame?

Yes, a 'Frame Only' option is available if you prefer to use your own netting material.

Troubleshooting

Cage feels unstable in wind

Ensure all steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For increased stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips to further secure the tubing to the ground or to adjacent structures if applicable.

Netting is not fitting correctly

Double-check that you are using the correct size netting for your cage dimensions and that it is being attached evenly. Ensure net clamps are firmly secured.

Missing components

Carefully review the packaging and check the parts list in the instructions. Contact customer support if any components are genuinely missing.

Difficulty assembling frame

Ensure aluminium tubes are fully inserted into connectors. Refer to the assembly diagram in the instructions; sometimes a gentle twist can help components seat properly.
