DOME FRUIT CAGE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

0.15m

0.15m

0.15m x 0.15m holes can be
dug to the 32.5cm required
depth at the marked upright
locations.

Once the frame is assembled holes can be backfilled with dry mix post-crete. When
concreting your uprights in place leave some space at the top where soil can be placed over
the set concrete.

Set the uprights level in the dry mix post-crete by bracing with 45 degree wooden stakes. G-
clamps can be used to secure the braces to the uprights. When satisfied that the uprights are
vertical, soak the post-crete with water as instructed.

Ready made post-crete is available from DIY stores.

Ground

Concreting your Cage

In most cases uprights will not require concreting in place. However if you require extra
rigidity you may prefer to secure the uprights with concrete.
