These vegetable garden cages are made from aluminium and help prevent birds and insects from damaging your crops. Designed for low-growing plants like strawberries, salad greens, and onions, they create a barrier against common garden pests.

Vegetable Cages With Butterfly Netting To Keep Pests Away

These garden cages prevent birds, rabbits, and deer from eating your crops. They also stop caterpillars and butterflies from reaching your plants when used with Veggiemesh or butterfly netting. The netting also reduces wind impact and heavy rain, offering extra protection for delicate plants. Selecting netting with small holes can help prevent cross-pollination by keeping bees out. The cages are reusable and a cost-effective choice for long-term gardening.

Sizes And Materials Of These Vegetable Garden Cages

These cages stand 500mm high (1ft 7in) when assembled and come with instructions, diagrams, and a full list of contents.

The netting is draped over the frame and pegged down, making it easy to remove when needed. During winter, garden fleece can be used for extra protection, though additional pegs may be required due to wind resistance.

These vegetable cages can be dismantled and stored compactly when not in use.

How To Use

These fruit and vegetable cages are made from aluminium and will protect your low crops from insect and bird damage. They are suitable for all your low crops, strawberries, salad crops, onions are just a few examples. The cages stand .5m high (1ft 7 inches) once erected and come with instructions, diagrams and a list of contents. The 16mm uprights (legs) are pushed into the soil 10cm the tubes are .6m (1ft 11inches) long allowing for 10cm. The connectors, either build a balls or joiners are used to connect the 13mm crossbars, these then connect to the legs. The netting is laid over the cage and pegged down. It is not fitted as this would make it difficult on the larger cages to take off the netting with just one person. The cages can be covered with fleece over winter but would need extra pegs due to wind resistance. The cages can be dismantled and stored easily when not in use. Everything is included in our cage kits: Aluminium tubes, Connectors, Netting, Pegs and clips
