The Madison Fruit Cage

The Madison Fruit Cage is the prefect structure to protect your valuable tender fruits and vegetables from unwanted visitors.

Sagging mesh is replaced with semi-rigid, UV stable, polypropylene netting with 20mm x 15mm apertures, which are small enough to exclude the hungriest bird. We do not only use this on the sides but also on the roof. Combine that with a roof support framework of 2m square aluminium frames and you have a structure that means the mesh can be left up year in year out and will look as good as new – another first for Alitex.

The framework is made from rigid aluminium box sections with a polyester powder coated finish. Not surprisingly Alitex offers a lifetime guarantee on its frames (sadly not the mesh, which may need replacing eventually) - that’s more than any other fruit frame manufacturer.

The frames fit on a solid base of wood, concrete or blocks which means that digging rodents or the fastest moving rabbits are always kept outside and can merely dream about nibbling your tender fruits and vegetables. This type of construction also ensures that the frame sits squarely to the ground. Alitex are happy to construct the base for you prior to putting up the cage itself.

The frame is made up of a series of interlocking panels 2m x 2m, held together by stainless steel nuts and bolts. The headroom of 2m gives a generous working height. The door operates on zinc-plated clamp hinges and is kept securely shut by a magnetic catch. At 1m wide the door offers easy access for fruit picking.

Alitex will only sell erected frames. This ensures a trouble free-installation and means we can support our lifetime guarantee. And we always try to undertake a site visit so that we can provide you with the most appropriate solution to your growing needs.
