This walk-in fruit cage kit is designed for gardeners who want a robust, long-lasting structure to protect their crops from birds and pests. Built with a strong aluminium frame and high-quality netting, it provides reliable protection while allowing easy access through a full-height door.
What's Included
The kit includes everything you need to build a complete walk-in cage:
- Aluminium tubing for the frame
- Ground spikes to secure the structure
- Roof and side netting
- A full-height door for easy access
- All necessary fixings and connectors
Frame Construction
The frame is made from lightweight yet durable aluminium tubing, which won't rust or degrade over time. The modular design makes assembly straightforward, and the ground spikes ensure the structure stays firmly in place even in windy conditions.
Netting
The cage comes with purpose-designed netting that covers the roof and sides. The mesh size is small enough to keep out birds and larger pests while still allowing pollinators to reach your plants. The netting is UV-stabilised to resist degradation from sunlight, ensuring it lasts for many seasons.
Door Access
A full-height door is included, making it easy to walk in and out of the cage without stooping. The door frame integrates seamlessly with the main structure and can be positioned on any side to suit your garden layout.
Assembly
The kit is designed for straightforward assembly. The aluminium tubes connect using simple fittings, and the netting attaches with clips or ties (depending on the specific kit). Most gardeners can complete the build in a few hours with basic tools.
Maintenance
Aluminium frames require minimal maintenance—just an occasional check to ensure all connections remain tight. The netting should be inspected periodically for any damage and can be easily replaced if needed. In winter, you may choose to remove the netting to prevent snow load, though the frame is designed to remain in place year-round.
Customisation
This cage can be adapted to suit your needs. You can add additional netting for extra coverage, or use Enviromesh on the sides for finer pest protection. The modular frame also allows for future expansion if you want to increase the growing area.
Why Choose a Walk-In Cage?
Walk-in cages offer several advantages over smaller, low-profile designs. They provide ample headroom for taller plants like raspberries and blackcurrants, and the door access makes tending to your crops much more comfortable. The larger enclosed space also allows you to grow a wider variety of plants in one protected area.
Ideal For
This cage is perfect for protecting soft fruit bushes, vegetable beds, and other crops that are vulnerable to bird damage. It's particularly well-suited to gardens where you want a permanent or semi-permanent structure that can be left in place throughout the growing season.
