What are Premium Fruit Cages?
Our robust premium walk-in cages are crafted from exceptionally durable, black powder-coated 27mm aluminium tubing.
Why should I buy Premium Cages?
These cages, reinforced with galvanised steel joints, are built to withstand the test of time, protecting your fruits and vegetables for many years to come.
Their strength makes them particularly well-suited for exposed areas. With an internal height of 1.9 metres (6 feet 3 inches), there’s ample space for comfortable work underneath. Plus, you can choose from a wide range of widths and lengths.
Our Fruit Cages feature fruit/poultry netting along the sides and anti-bird netting on the roof (Fruit Netting: 17mm x 17mm mesh, Bird Netting: 20mm x 20mm mesh).
Is a door included?
No, a door is sold separately.
What's included with this cage?
Your choice of black or green Bird Netting for the cover, black aluminium tubing, premium cage allen key, premium cage joiners, cable ties and steel pegs as well as net clamps.
What should I do if heavy snowfall is expected?
Remember to remove the roof netting beforehand.
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.
