Harrod Slot & Lock Aluminium Strawberry Cage

Description from Harrod Horticultural

The Harrod Slot & Lock® Natural Aluminium Strawberry Cage creates a 45cm high exclusion zone around your ripening strawberry plants and will be the cause of many aborted strawberry-thieving missions by frustrated birds!

Designed to provide ample height for strawberries and even low growing vegetables also requiring protection , cornerstone of this strawberry protection cage’s success is the 16mm diameter aluminium tubing, held together by the equally effective, durable and reusable black nylon Harrod Slot & Lock® connectors which simply push onto the 1.2mm gauge aluminium tubing. The fear of falling framework is consigned to history as the connectors are securely held in place by tightening the stainless steel screws – and with all the cage components available separately, the cage configuration can be easily changed.

The framework itself comprises strong and corrosion resistant 16mm aluminium tubing which is secured using our Award Winning Harrod Slot & Lock® Connectors. The cages have also been updated to include the Harrod Net Claw Pegs – an innovative peg which is inserted into the ground once and use the tension of the netting to hook and unhook the netting from the claw teeth, saves unpegging and any potential net damage.

Heavy duty 20mm diamond mesh anti-bird netting completes the protection, allowing smaller pollinating insects to pass through at flowering time but preventing birds from prematurely devouring the ripening crop.

You’ll find the Harrod Slot & Lock® natural aluminium strawberry cage is easy to assemble and dismantle, and it can easily be erected just before the strawberries set fruit – you’ll never lose another berry to the birds again!
