Why be cagey?
I bought a large fruit cage from Robinsonpolytunnels and I can't fault it. The cage itself is very sturdy and feels like it will last. The door was a little tricky to do but I would recommend them.

I had excellent help by phone, about size of poly needed, Delivery was excellent, and the quality of the poly is second to none.. Would certainly recommend Robinsons to anyone needing new poly. Would certainly use them again.

Thanks very much Maureen for your 5 star review. We aim to provide accurate and helpful advice and I'm glad that we've provided this for you.
I'm pleased that you've pointed out the quality of the polythene that we supplied to you, as a lot of people think all the polythenes are very similar quality which definitely isn't the case!

Great product
Great walk-in fruit cage but some improvisation is needed if your garden is on solid chalk because the base posts will not sink in to the soil & the land is not level but got round it with a wooden base with sink holes.

I'm glad that your happy with your fruit cage kit Margaret and thank you so much for your 5-star review.
We have many discussions about the ideal length for the foundation tubes of the fruit cages. Whether they are too long to drive into firm or stony ground. Or whether they might be too short to provide the desired stability in soft and well-cultivated ground. We tend to err on the side of caution and supply them probably longer than necessary. Following your comments, we may review this again and your feedback is very helpful. Regarding building the fruit cage on ground that isn't level, a few of our customers have used a timber board around the perimeter and I'm glad it's worked in your case.
Kind regards,

a great fruit cage.
I did some research on the internet and then decided that I liked Robinson's Polytunnels the most and telephoned for some advice. Stuart was most helpful and seemed to readily comprehend my problem and we devised a solution whereby he provided two upright foot rests to be placed on the hard standing already there, and sent less ground tubes to be bashed into the ground. We assembled it and the uneven ground made it slightly more difficult but it was done in a few hours and is proving to be fantastic. The door is great as well. Many thanks to all.
(My only mild disappointment was the delay of a few days in the delivery so I missed a good weekend opportunity for assembly but did it a week later.)

Thanks very much for your fantastic 5 star review and your comments which are really appreciated by us as well as other potential customers.
Please accept our apologies for the delay. I'm not sure if this was a problem with the delivery service or with a product stock issue - I know we've struggled to cope with the demand for fruit cages over the past couple of months but we're back on top of things now.
Kind regards,

Instant delivery!
I ordered some components for a second hand polytunnel - tape, repair tape and some sundry tube joints. Ordered in the morning, delivered to my delight the following day. And we're in Scotland and have other suppliers turning their noses up at deliveries over the border.
Will definitely order again when we get round to our fruit cage.

Fruit cage review
Excellent fruit cage, sturdy supports, plenty of height to walk around inside and easy to assemble. More than one pair of hands needed tho! Great value for money and brilliant customer service. Couldn't be more pleased.

Thank you so much Mrs Northcote for your fantastic review and it makes our job a pleasure when we read your comments about our products and the service you received.

Excellent
The polytunnel was easy enough for two people to erect but it did help that one of us had some experience of pulling the plastic tight, which was the fiddly part. The instructions were clear and all the metal frame is very strong. All the metalwork, wooden door frames and plastic is excellent quality. Now it is up and in use it is very sturdy and doing a brilliant job.

Thanks very much Mrs Williamson for your 5 star review which is very much appreciated by all at Robinson Polytunnels.
We totally agree about the polythene being the fiddley part and our professional construction teams take a lot of practice to get the polythene looking good.
It's great to hear that you've got your polytunnel up and running and it's working well for you and I'm sure it will provide you with many years of service.
Kind regards,
