How do aluminium cages protect my crops?
Aluminium cages shield low crops like strawberries and onions from birds and insects while allowing light and rain to pass through. The netting provides wind resistance.
How easy are the cages to assemble?
These cages are easy to assemble by pushing the 16mm uprights into the soil and connecting the 13mm crossbars with joiners. The netting is laid over the frame and pegged down. Instructions and diagrams are included for a straightforward setup.
Can the cages be used year-round and are they easy to store?
Yes, the cages are suitable for year-round use and can be covered with fleece in winter. They can be dismantled and stored easily when not needed. The kit includes all necessary parts for simple assembly and disassembly.
What's included with this cage?

What are these fruit and vegetable cages made of, and what are they used for?
These cages are made from aluminium and are designed to protect low crops from insect and bird damage. They are suitable for various low crops, including strawberries, salad crops, and onions.
How tall are the cages once they are erected?
The cages stand at a height of 0.5 meters (1 foot 7 inches) once assembled.
How are the cages constructed?
The 16mm uprights (legs) are pushed into the soil to a depth of 10cm. The tubes are 0.6 meters (1 foot 11 inches) long, allowing for a 10cm gap.
What connects the crossbars to the legs?
The connectors, either “build-a-balls” or joiners, are used to connect the 13mm crossbars, which then attach to the legs.
How is the netting applied to the cage?
The netting is laid over the cage and pegged down. It is not permanently fitted, as this would make it difficult to remove the netting from larger cages with just one person.
What benefits do the cages provide for crops?
The netting provides wind resistance, which can help crops grow larger and healthier. Additionally, it prevents insect pests and birds from damaging the crops.
Can the cages be used during winter?
Yes, the cages can be covered with garden fleece during winter. However, extra pegs may be needed due to wind resistance.
How easy is it to dismantle and store the cages when not in use?
The cages can be easily dismantled and stored when not needed.
What components are included in the cage kits?
Everything necessary for assembly is included: aluminum tubes, connectors, netting, pegs, and clips.
Is there anything specific to consider regarding snow?
Yes, if snow is forecast, it’s advisable to remove the netting, as snow can be very heavy and may damage the structure.
