[WoodBlocX crop protectors](https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/crop-protector-protection-fruit-cage-netting) are Ø16mm hollow steel rods with a natural rust finish which are used to create height-adjustable netted growing areas in raised beds (1200mm tall with a 40mm diameter sphere on top). Fixing brackets, adjustable collars and screws included per rod. We DO NOT supply netting.

Once installed, they enable you to grow safe in the knowledge that your plants and veggies are protected from all manner of garden pests!

The number of crop protectors you require for your size of raised bed will be automatically calculated for you on most of our product pages when you select 'Yes' during the 'Select Kit OPTIONS' step. You can also add [crop protectors](https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/crop-protector-protection-fruit-cage-netting) to your basket manually before checking out. 

Each crop protector is £10 and **we DO NOT supply netting**. You can buy netting at most garden centres or DIY shops.

Crop protectors can be used to make fruit cages and netted vegetable patches. We recommend a crop protector in every corner of your raised bed. Larger raised beds will require a crop protector every 1500mm to make sure your netting is fully supported.

Here's a review from one very happy customer...
> The crop protectors are a very ingenious design and super easy to install. They can also be removed very easily for the winter when not in use.
