Product Information

Full details

This guide is for home gardeners and allotment holders seeking robust protection for their fruit and vegetable crops. The key benefit is a durable, spacious walk-in structure that deters pests while allowing easy access for tending plants. A caveat is that doors are sold separately and additional stability measures may be needed in windy areas. The Premium Walk-In Cages are constructed from strong, black powder-coated aluminium tubing and galvanised steel joiners, offering a substantial 1.9m internal height. They are available in various sizes and netting options to suit different crop needs.

FAQs

What is included in the Premium Walk-In Cage 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 supplied based on the specific product variant chosen (or not included if 'No Netting' is selected).

Do I need a separate door kit?

Yes, doors are sold separately. If you require a dedicated door for easier access, you will need to purchase a separate door kit.

What is the internal height of the cage?

The internal height is an impressive 1.9m (6'3"), providing ample space to move around and tend to your plants.

Can I get a custom-sized cage?

Yes, custom sizes are available. Please submit an enquiry form, and expect a response, typically within three days during peak times.

What netting options are available?

Available options include Bird/Fruit Netting (20mm mesh), Soft Butterfly Netting (5mm x 7mm mesh), Green Bird Netting (19mm mesh), or a frame-only option for those who wish to use their own netting.

How should I care for the cage during winter?

While the frame is durable, it's recommended to remove the roof netting if heavy snow is forecast to prevent damage from excess weight. For long-term storage, consider dismantling and storing components in a dry place.

How do I secure the cage in windy areas?

Ensure the provided pegs are firmly installed. For additional security in windy conditions, we recommend using heavy-duty pipe clips to anchor the frame more securely to the ground.

Troubleshooting

Cage is unstable in wind

Ensure all steel pegs are securely driven into the ground. For extra stability, use heavy-duty pipe clips to further secure the frame to the ground or adjacent structures.

Netting is difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the provided net clamps correctly. Position the netting along the frame and secure it firmly with the clamps. Check that the mesh size is appropriate for the frame and not overly stretched.

Frame parts don't fit together

Verify that you are using the correct connectors for the specific tubes. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points. Contact customer support if parts appear damaged or incorrectly manufactured.

Insects are still getting into the cage

Check the netting for any tears or gaps, especially around the base and entry points. Ensure the chosen netting mesh size is fine enough for the specific pest you are trying to exclude (e.g., use finer mesh for butterflies than for birds).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against a wide range of garden pests.
  • The walk-in design with high internal clearance makes plant care easy and comfortable.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in garden conditions.
  • Multiple netting options cater to specific pest control needs.
  • Available in various standard sizes and custom options.

Cons

  • Doors are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the cage.
  • May require additional securing methods like heavy-duty pipe clips in very windy locations.
  • Netting requires careful handling, especially during installation and removal.
  • The 'frame only' option means users must source their own netting material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be straightforward with clear instructions included. The kit contains aluminium tubing, steel pegs, cable ties, steel connectors, net clamps, an Allen key, and end bungs. Users typically connect the aluminium tubing using the steel joiners and secure the frame into the ground with the provided steel pegs. Netting is attached using the included net clamps.

Compatibility: This cage is compatible with various netting types offered by Gardening Naturally, including Bird/Fruit Netting, Soft Butterfly Netting, and Green Bird Netting. It can also be used with custom netting if preferred. For added stability in windy conditions, compatibility with heavy-duty pipe clips is recommended.

Care: To maintain the cage, regularly check connections for tightness. If snow is forecast, it is advisable to remove the roof netting to prevent excess weight from damaging the structure. Clean the aluminium tubing and netting with a damp cloth as needed. Store components during off-season if possible to prolong lifespan.
