Heavy Duty Fruit Cage

Heavy Duty Fruit Cage

These Heavy Duty Fruit Cages are constructed using strong 27mm diameter, 1.6mm walled aluminium tubing connected by supremely strong, galvanised steel joints with locking grub screws creating you a rigid Fruit Cage that will last for years. 
The strength of these cages makes them the best option for exposed areas, or in situations where you need to glaze with finer meshed materials to protect from smaller pests than birds, for example - butterfly's. The 8' spans make it economical to cover larger areas and the 7' internal height gives plenty of room for you and your crops.
In a range of 18 different standard sizes, but any size can be made! - please contact us for a quotation.

Please Note:
 In snowy weather butterfly netting and bird netting should either be removed or replaced by larger span pigeon netting to allow snow to fall through - wet snow is very heavy ! Pigeon netting is available to purchase separately - Click Here for more details.

Anyone who grows fruit and veg at home knows that certain crops simply can’t be raised successfully without some form of crop protection. Of course many things are suggested for keeping birds and other pests at bay, such as old CD’s and polythene bags hung among the plants. However, although these things may work initially, birds soon learn to ignore them and of course they have no effect at all on insect pests. As far as birds are concerned, nothing works as well as covering the crop completely with a good quality fruit cage. A fruit cage or on a smaller area, a netting clad cloche, is ideal for protecting your cabbages and lettuces from marauding pigeons, and means that you have complete peace of mind, no matter how many hungry birds circle your garden.
