Fruit and Vegetable Protective Cage Supplied with Green Butterfly Netting (5.9m Green)

Very disappointed in this product. The poles fit very tightly into the brackets and it is necessary to tap them home to ensure a good fit. I read the instructions (!) and gently tapped the first bracket onto the pole using a wooden mallet. The bracket snapped. I was annoyed and was subsequently very gentle when assembling the remainder, but still another 3 brackets broke. Result - I am only able to use 2.4m of my 3.6m long cage!! The brackets are made from a brittle plastic and very fragile. I doubt that they will last very long once the plastic has degraded in the sunlight. Seems like the wrong type of plastic is used.

Ignore the earlier reviewers who say you cannot cut the tubes without distortion or damage - go to Amazon "GoChange 3-28mm pipe cutter" less than a tenner - stainless steel mini cutter excellent bit of kit cuts smoothly and bevels the cut edge making assembly a doddle (I gave each end a suirt of WD40 too). Tap home with a rubber hammer. Some of the tubes were 2cm longer so make sure you have matched pairs before assembly (if not cutting) or measuring cutoffs. As the tubes are aluminium they can be easily bent allowing for non-rectangular spaces. The plastic coating is pretty thick so I expect them to last a good few years. Cut offs being used as support stakes for bush tomatoes and extra net pegs.Customer service was excellent - my order was short 2 brackets - emailed seller got an instant reply and 3 brackets next day post - can't fault that!

Easy to assemble, i sprayed the ends of the poles with WD40 and pushed them in by hand. Placed over a raised bed ,it is very sturdy and looks good. Quality clips supplied for net and ground anchorage. 20 mins to assemble start to finish.AAA+

This is the third I have brought. They are very good sturdy, easy to assemble, can be moved and big enough to lean under to gain access. The netting clips on and off with easy clips that have a bit on that allows them to be pulled off. Much better than other clips I have. I use them on my allotment and what's more they look smart. I have tried more expensive metal hoops but these are much better. Would recommend

Fruit and Vegetable Protective Cage supplied with Green Butterfly Netting (2.4m long) Excellent product. I bought this to stop my chickens from nibbling my rhubarb leaves (not good for them). Chickens notwithstanding, it was very easy to assemble. Chickens are now very disappointed, but I am happy they won't be munching on rhubarb leaves anymore.

Bought this last year to cover my brassicas as they were destroyed the previous year by butterflies. I was a bit sceptical as the holes were larger than the netting I used last year but I sat and watched the butterflies around all the other netting but not once landed on this one. I can’t explain it! Maybe it’s the colour but I’m replacing all my netting with this. Hopefully I’m safe again this year.

This cage is just brilliant. Very easy to assemble and nice and sturdy now it is up. Some of the joints are a bit tight, but a gentle knock with a hammer sorted that out. The joints are actually quite sturdy too despite some of the comments elsewhere. I did not even bother with a piece of wood when using a hammer and they are fine. I will order a second one.

Fitted together easily enough; the poles are not particularly strong while the netting has not been cut to fit the frame precisely, being much longer than needed. Unlike other cages we have had, there is not a zipped opening in the netting which would mean continually unpegging and crouching for access. The price is too high given the quality and amount of material provided. Would have returned if we hadn't left a year before opening.
