Door Hinges

- Doors hinges come in 2 parts, an eye and a peg fitting. The peg fitting is slotted 

over the upright pole from which the door is hung. A door can be placed anywhere on the 
structure where there is an upright. The fittings need not be secured at this stage, you only need 
to ensure that the peg fitting is facing upwards when you slide them over the pole. 
 

 

 
 

Mowing Strip

 - The mowing strip is an optional timber strip that runs around the base of the 

cage and enables grass to be strimmed without fouling the netting. There are two fittings used, 
a single and double lug. The single lug is used at the corners and beside the door, the double 
lug is used on all other poles.  
 
2 x single lug brackets are placed at the corners with the lugs opposite each other and facing 
outwards. Only one double lug fitting is required for all other poles. To fit the timber boards align 
the fittings so the brackets face outwards. Offer the boards up against the brackets and mark 
the fixing hole. Drill the boards using the bit provided and fix to the brackets using the included 
fixings; the washer is placed against the timber on the outside. Adjust and tighten the fittings 
until the boards are level.
