Fruit Cages. Heavy Duty Protection.

A fruit cage is a protective structure covered with netting that helps prevent birds and other garden pests from reaching fruit, vegetables and other crops. A walk-in fruit cage creates a permanent protected growing area while still allowing easy access for planting, maintenance and harvesting.

Fruit cages are ideal for protecting soft fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants and gooseberries, as well as many vegetables and other crops that are vulnerable to birds.

The generous height of our walk-in fruit cages also means there is plenty of room for taller plants and established fruit bushes.

Our fruit cages use a modular system based around 2.5m × 2.5m sections, allowing the length and width of the cage to be increased in 2.5m increments.

If the standard configurations don’t fit your growing area, other sizes are available and framework tubes can be cut down to suit specific spaces. Contact our team if you need a bespoke fruit cage size.

Our Traditional Fruit Cage has a finished height of approximately 2 metres.

The Victoriana Fruit Cage has 2-metre-high straight sides, with its decorative curved roof increasing the overall height to close to 3 metres.

Both styles use our heavy-duty steel fruit cage framework and include side and roof netting.

The Traditional Fruit Cage has a simple flat roof, making it a practical and great-value choice for gardens and allotments.

The Victoriana Fruit Cage adds a decorative curved roof which can be assembled as either a dome or inverted arch. Victoriana cages can also be finished with a choice of Acorn or Sparrow Hawk finial.

Yes. Both the side and roof anti-bird netting are included as standard with our fruit cages.

The sides use a strong 18mm × 18mm extruded netting, while a lightweight 20mm × 20mm knitted net is used across the roof.

Yes. Every fruit cage includes one door as standard, complete with hinges, fasteners and independent door posts.

The independent posts allow you to position the door wherever is most convenient around the perimeter of your fruit cage.

Yes. You can add additional doors when configuring your fruit cage. Our online configurator allows you to select up to four doors.

If you require more doors or have a more unusual configuration in mind, contact our team and we’ll be happy to discuss your requirements.

The fruit cage uprights are inserted directly into the ground to secure the structure. The uprights measure 2.5 metres long and we recommend inserting them approximately 500mm into the ground, giving the cage a finished side height of around 2 metres.

Yes. We recommend removing the roof net during winter, particularly where there is a risk of snowfall.

Snow can accumulate on the roof net and place unnecessary additional weight on the fruit cage framework. Removing the roof net also gives you an opportunity to inspect it before refitting it for the next growing season.

The side netting can generally remain fitted throughout the year. Unlike the roof net, it does not provide a horizontal surface on which significant amounts of snow can accumulate.

The netting is UV-stabilised and rot-proof for long-term outdoor use.

Our fruit cages use a heavy-duty 25mm diameter steel framework with a 1.5mm wall thickness, rather than a lightweight aluminium framework.

The framework uses galvanised steel connecting joints, with welded connections providing additional strength at the points where the framework meets.

Yes. Our fruit cages are available with either a standard galvanised steel finish or a black powder-coated finish.

The black option gives the framework a more understated appearance which can blend particularly well into established gardens and growing areas.

Yes. The modular design means we can accommodate a wide range of fruit cage sizes, and framework tubes can also be cut down where necessary to suit your growing area.

If the configuration you need isn’t available through our online configurator, contact our team to discuss your requirements.
