When it comes to protecting your fruit and vegetables in a small back garden, choosing the right crop and fruit cages is essential.
These structures not only safeguard your plants from pests and wildlife but also create an organised and efficient growing environment. Knowle Nets have an extensive range of high-quality with a range of solutions tailored to compact spaces.
Why Choose Small Fruit and Crop Cages?
Small back gardens often require strategic use of space. A well-designed fruit or crop cage allows you to maximize productivity without compromising on the aesthetics or usability of your garden. These cages protect plants from birds, insects, and other threats while ensuring easy access for maintenance and harvesting. Knowle Nets specialises in providing customisable and durable solutions to meet the unique needs of small gardens.
Best Options for Small Back Gardens
Low Fruit Cages
For low-growing crops like strawberries, lettuces, and dwarf beans, low fruit cages are an ideal choice. Knowle Nets offers a variety of these compact cages that provide effective protection without taking up too much vertical space. Made from either lightweight aluminium or sturdy steel, they are designed for easy assembly and adaptability. Their low profile makes them perfect for fitting into smaller garden beds or raised planters.
Aluminium Cages
Knowle Nets’ aluminium fruit cages are lightweight, durable, and easy to handle — a significant advantage in small gardens where portability may be necessary. These cages are available in various sizes to suit specific needs and can be customised to fit awkward spaces. Their rust-resistant frames ensure they remain a long-lasting addition to your garden.
Steel Low Cages
If you’re looking for something more robust, the steel low cages are an excellent choice. Constructed from high-tensile galvanised steel with a weather-resistant coating, they’re built to withstand tough conditions. These cages are particularly suited to gardens exposed to harsher weather or for gardeners who prefer a more heavy-duty solution.
Strawberry Cages
Strawberries are a popular choice for back gardens, but they’re also highly susceptible to birds and slugs. Knowle Nets’ strawberry cages are specifically designed to offer effective protection while allowing easy access for picking. These compact cages are an excellent fit for small garden plots or container-grown strawberries, ensuring your fruit remains undisturbed until harvest.
Mini Walk-In Cages
For gardeners growing a mix of plants, including taller varieties like tomatoes or peppers, mini walk-in cages provide the perfect solution. These smaller-scale versions of full-sized walk-in fruit cages offer sufficient height and accessibility without overwhelming the limited space of a back garden - starting sizes are as small as 1m x 1m and Knowle Nets offers these cages with both aluminium and steel frames, ensuring durability and flexibility to suit your preferences.
Customisation and Accessories
Knowle Nets understands that no two gardens are the same, which is why we offer customisable cages in 25cm increments. This feature ensures you can order a structure that perfectly fits your garden’s dimensions. In addition, our high-quality netting options—including ultra-fine insect nets, bird nets, and heavy-duty plastic netting—allow you to tailor your cage to specific needs.
Planning for Small Gardens
Before choosing a fruit or crop cage, consider your garden’s layout, the types of plants you’re growing, and their spacing requirements - a bit of planning will make sure that the cage integrates seamlessly into your garden, offering maximum protection without compromising on how your plt looks.
Protecting your crops in a small back garden doesn’t mean compromising on quality or functionality. Knowle Nets’ range of small fruit and crop cages offers the perfect balance of durability, adaptability, and protection. By investing in the right cage for your garden, you’ll enjoy healthier plants, greater yields, and a more organised growing space.
