I loved this product. Bought two of them. Assembled one and had it outside for, maybe, six weeks. During disassembly, I discovered that two of the plastic connectors had cracked, an extreme disappointment as the cage is perfect for my needs. I'm going to try to find replacement connectors, even though I don't think they should crack after less than two months of use..

I purchased this last year to cover my blueberry bush and keep birds from eating the berries. Epic fail. As other people have stated the net is so oddly shaped that there is zero way to get it to cover the structure in any way possible. Extra in one area and too small in others. Extra bunches up all over. Birds get through the bunched areas because can't close them off tightly. Ate all the berries. Worthless. If net was appropriately sized might Nobel decent. Do not waste your money on this.

I wanted something to protect my vegetables from squirrels and other gnawing rodents and small mammals. I have been using one of these all summer. (I purchased 2.) The frame was easy to assemble. It is very lightweight once put together but, even so, I did not have any issues with it blowing over during any of our summer storms. The only drawback I notice is that the net is much too large. I had about 7 or 8 feet of extra netting remaining after putting it over the frame. Also, there were not enough straps to secure the netting properly to all posts of the frame (vertical and horizontal) and there were gaps in the bottom that I fixed by tucking the netting under the frame.

I had high hopes for this cage. But while I was assembling it, 2 of the plastic joints broke and I had to use duct tape to finish putting it together. The netting is large enough for a structure twice the size I purchased and because of that it was quite cumbersome to manage. There's a good portion of it just laying on the ground. The ground staples meant to hold down the frame are too short, so I used bricks to hold it and the netting in place.
I just had to go outside and tape two additional plastic joints that had broken. ..don't know why...wind, perhaps a deer brushed against it.

But on the plus side I haven't lost a single blueberry to the birds. Again, because 9f the excess netting it's a little tough getting into the frame to pick the berries. I think next summer I will make a frame from PVC pipe as I don't expect the plastic joints on this cage will survive dismantling!

This thing is not useless. It is much worse than useless. It is useless elected to high office by an overwhelming majority. It consists of 12 PVC pipes in two lengths to form the frame, and eight connectors of some composite material to form the corners. Try to assemble it. I'll wait, because hilarity will ensue. The pipes fit loosely into the connectors. Every time you slide one end of a pipe into a connector, two other pipes fall out of theirs. Two people can eventually, with concentrated effort and implacable determination, get these parts assembled into a shaky frame, unless it's a windy day. Don't try it on a windy day. Trust me. Once it's assembled, use the provided metal staples to attach the bottom set of pipes to the ground (they won't work on a hard surface; if you attempt this on a hard surface, you're on your own). Now you're ready to cover the frame with the plastic screening material, which is somewhat but not much heavier in denier* than the stuff they make cheap pantyhose from, but which actively resists being unfolded and staying unfolded from the long narrow tight bunch it's shipped in. Also at this point again reflect on the "windy day" observation noted above. This was about as far as we got, because the unfolded netting, as near as we could tell, was not in any reasonable way going to fit on that frame in such a way as to cover it completely, top and sides, even if we had glued the frame together so that it could withstand the tugging, stretching and fastening that would be required to get it to attach at all. And if wasn't closed in, top and sides, how was it going to protect the tomatoes from the chipmunks**? And if it was closed in, top and sides, and firmly and seamlessly stapled to the ground... HOW WERE WE GOING TO GET THE GODDAM TOMATOES OUT?!

Wait. I just thought of something useful that could be done with one of these: have someone video you trying to set it up all by yourself, without a helper. The resulting video will make you a YouTube sensation of epic proportions.
