• Make
a decision as to the size and shape of the cage that you
want to make.
(3 panels and 3 stakes per package) |
| • Take
two panels and place them side by side in the normal upright
position in the shape and approximate angle that you want
them to be located. |
| • Make
sure that the interlocking loops are in the correct orientation.The
loops with the offsets on the first panel should be lined
up directly above the interlocking loops on the second
panel that do not have an offset. |
| • Insert
the first stake through the interlocking loops on the two
adjacent panels. The stakes are designed
to push approximately 18.5” into the ground. Use
your own discretion as
to the appropriate depth needed to hold the system in a
stable position in your garden. Be careful
not to bend the stakes when pushing them into the ground as
it will make it more difficult to assemble the system during
the
next growing
season.The stakes, when inserted properly, will hold the panels
in a firm and upright position as the plant grows to its mature height. We suggest
that the
grip portion of the stake handle be located in the middle of the two panels. |
• Place
the third panel of the Cage-a-Crop™ system
in its appropriate position.If
using the
standard 3 panel configuration, swing all panels to the
location where the
interlocking loop holes line up properly
to allow for the proper second and third stake insertions.
Again, make sure the panels are located where the offset
loops are located
above the straight loops. |
| • As
shown in the upper left picture, when inserting
the second and third stakes, again, keep
the handle grip portions of the stake in the middle of
the two adjacent panels
as shown in the picture on the left. Then push both stakes
into the ground to the same level as
the first stake. |
| • Once
you are satisfied that your system is set up in the proper
configuration and your plants are getting tall, you may
want to use the supplied wire ties to secure the top
of the cage panels together or secure your plants to the
cage.
There are enough ties (15) to last for several growing
seasons. |
| • At
the end of each season cut the wire ties from each corner,
dispose these as they are now unusable and store the panels
on a nail or hook in your garage or potting shed. |
