Topic: Best Fruit Cage

[Lauren S]

is the photo small or large when you view  it? i say that because when i view it it is huge!.

The photo is about just over 1 inch square

[thifasmom]

it does cut it down very slightly although i cant do a proper check at the moment due to a serious lack of "proper sunshine"!!!! i did a search on the forums thifasmom and quite a few people have used debris netting and seem really pleased with the results?
when you mention it blocking light out do you mean the actual netting itself or the colour of it?

yes i was wondering if such fine netting especially in such a deep colour would affect the amount of sun light reaching the plant.

Asbean, the measurements are 6ft x 6ft x 20ft. I used one set of straight sides to elongate the top arch - if that makes sense. Luckily it slotted together with a bit of persuasion!

Thanks for that, Sheddy, I'll do some thinking and measuring and keep an eye on wilkos for when they get them back in and when they have them on special offer.  (an excuse to go there !!!! )

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Plot neighbours put one up this week.  Looks as good as any I've seen so I asked where they got it from:

Great price I think.

Just found what appears to be the cheapest so far www.wmjames.co.uk

Maybe depends on size?  The 2.5m x 5m is cheaper from Agriframes.

another company to add to the mix .. I got mine from Knowle Nets 4 years ago. They were very competitive at the time.
