Outsunny 4' x 8' Crop Cage, Plant Protection Tent with Zippered Doors for Vegetable Garden, Backyard, Black

Used for easy access to my raised planter. Easy to assemble! Large Zipper works well

I would not recommend this product to anyone. It has been too long since my February purchase to do a return. I got it out today to put it up and I discovered that the netting does NOT fit the frame. Two of the 3 zippers are broken (I will need to sew those openings closed.). Two poles and two pole connectors are missing (Not sure what I will come up with to correct that? Maybe dowel rods?)

Easy to assemble but flimsy, and the the material is not long enough in some areas to reach the ground. had to prop rocks and wood around all edges to make sure no critters can get in. Company should make netting longer to fix this issue. Not sure it will last all season, hope so, another brand I had before replacing with this I had up for 3 years and it did the job, but was no longer available so tried this. Crossing fingers

So I was a bit hesitant to purchase this based on some of the reviews, but so far I'm happy with it. Also wanted to share a few things I would like to have known. First, by way of background, I was looking for something to fit over an existing, raised garden bed. This was about the only one that was large enough. In the past I tried some metal hoops and netting over the garden, but it was awkward for humans getting in and out- yet some wildlife could still get in. I liked this because of the convenience of the zippered opening.Things to note:1- little critters. This is something I wish I had known, but I figured out a workaround. The bottom of the net does not connect securely to the bottom tubing, so little critters (chipmunks/squirrels) can get in. As you can see in the pictures, our early season "crop" is strawberries. We usually wait for them to be eaten (by us - but last year by the chipmunks) and then plant other things (hence some of the potted plants in the pictures - they'll be transplanted later). My solution - I tucked the netting down and used garden staples (which fit through the net holes) to pin the net to the tubing. I skipped pinning down one section so I can unzip and get in, but I put a couple of pieces of wood molding in front of the entrance to hold the net down. It's easy to pick up when I go in and replace after exiting and zipping up. I took a close-up pic of that as well.2- Stability. I had seen some comments about the thing tipping in the wind. As noted above, I bought a bunch of garden/landscape staples from the local garden center and anchored it down really well. It isn't going anywhere. Garden staples are cheap.3- No net rips. I saw a comment about the net ripping. So I was very, very careful putting it on during assembly. No problems.4- Ease of assembly. The instructions aren't great. Would be nice if there was a video on the company site. I tried calling to ask a question and waited on hold until I gave up. I had my (very tall) son help me assemble it. It would have been extremely frustrating to build it solo - and I might have ended up ripping the net.5 - Center tube. There is a center tube that runs across the width of the structure at both the top and the bottom, which isn't 100 apparent from the manufacturer pics on amazon. With my existing garden bed, there was no way to use the bottom cross-tube without either cutting my bed in half or drilling holes/digging. Neither of which I wanted to do with the strawberries already growing. I skipped installing the bottom cross piece and it is still plenty sturdy. Again, I used lots of garden staples.

This has been the best thing we have ever done for our producing blueberry bush! Although the upper ties are sewn on wrong the other ties are perfect. Wish we had bought it sooner. The previous bird netting we purchased caused all kinds of issues. Will be buying this again for new bushes we just planted. It was so easy to install and it gives us easy access to pick the berries. We love it.

Good size, easy to setup, comes with storage bag. The bad: zippers don't have stops and can slide off. Not enough ground anchors to battle the wind. Top straps are half sewn inside and outside making it impossible to secure the top. Zip ties helped. Netting holes are not large enough for insects so cannot have any flowering fruits or veggies inside. Next season just gonna wrap frame in chicken wire.

Very tall. Would work for indeterminate tomatoes. Easy assembly. So far no bugs getting in. Plants growing nicely in back. In front it’s early yet. Only summer squash & perennial chives so far with the diatomous earth about the 11 squash plants. Next in will be beans and corn and a few complementary herbs and flowers.(borage and nasturium and oregano. Goal is no squash bugs this year. We’ll see.

Ok so the product is good but the thing is only one side opens with zippers which makes it hard to get to the other side of the cage. I would not recommend these to a garden like tomatoes or anything you have to have full access to.
