Keeping the birds off your vegetables !!!


These vegetable cages are the perfect solution to keeping rabbits and birds away from your crop and there easy to make. 
What you need:

- 20mm staples 
- roll of rabbit wire
- 2" x 2 " lengths of timber (pressure treated)
- box of 4" long wood screws
- pair of 4" butt (door) hinges
- pack of cable ties 
Tools needed:
- hammer 
- hand saw
- electric screw driver (impact driver preferably)

So all you do is: 
1/ draw out the size cage you need on a scrap piece of paper. 
2/ cut the 2"x2" to the lengths you need and screw them all together into individual panels (eg sides, ends and lids)
3/ now lay your rabbit wire roll onto your panels and tack on with staples making sure you pull up the wire tightly 
4/trim up edges of rabbit wire to edge of panel 
5/ once all 5 panels are made simply cable tie them together and fit the lid with the butt hinges. Hey presto!! Your new veg cage.
