Growing soft fruit in the UK can be a challenge. Birds, rabbits, wind and weather extremes can wipe out months of work in a single day. Our British-made Fruit Cages, built from heavy-duty steel and designed in modular 2.5m sections, offer reliable, long-lasting protection for any garden, allotment or smallholding.
Trusted by growers since 1969, our cages are engineered to withstand the seasons, expand as your garden grows, and keep your harvest safe year after year.
Why Choose a Northern Polytunnels Fruit Cage?
✔
Built Stronger
Most garden fruit cages use thin aluminium tubes. Ours use robust steel frames, designed for real-world weather and decades of use.
✔
Modular 2.5m Sections
All kits are based on simple 2.5m modules, making it easy to start small, add additional sections later, and fit your cage to your plot.
✔
Walk-In Height
Work comfortably inside your cage without stooping. Plenty of headroom, even for tall growers.
✔
Durable Netting
UV-stable, long-lasting netting that provides excellent airflow while keeping pests out.
✔
Better for Windy Locations
The weight and strength of steel makes our cages ideal for exposed sites where aluminium kits struggle.
✔
British-Made Frames
Designed and manufactured in Lancashire. Built with the same mindset we use for our commercial structures.
