Premium Aluminium Walk-In Fruit Cage With Butterfly Netting

Product Description

Butterflies can decimate plants, particularly brassicas, as they lay their eggs on the plants which hatch into caterpillars that will quickly eat the leaves. This fruit cage is supplied with butterfly netting which has a 7mm mesh size to stop butterflies being able to land on the plants to lay their eggs.

The framework of our aluminium vegetable cage with butterfly netting is manufactured from 25mm diameter, 1.6mm thick aluminium section making it probably the strongest aluminium cage around. The thick tubing comes complete with flush fitting connectors making it easy to assemble & also gives a neat finish to the cage.

The cage is supplied with rigid butterfly netting for the side of the cage & soft butterfly netting for the roof of the cage
- both of which have a 7mm mesh size to stop butterflies. Please Note: this will also prevent some pollinating insects getting through into the cage so if you are growing crops that need to be pollinated such as courgette & squash we would advise choosing a Fruit Cage with anti bird netting.

* Please note that our cage sizes are generous & where space is limited please allow an extra 2% to measurements for fitting.
