Product Reviews
we used the Harrod connectors and aluminium tube to build a great little plant cage for my daughters vegetable plots.It was quick to build, strong and looks very neat (which was pretty important as we've only got a compact city garden)
I have several fruit bushes and trees in non-standard size spaces and the slot and lock connectors and various lengths of aluminium tubing enable me to easily construct bespoke size fruit cages that are perfect for the trees and the space they are in. Highly recommended.
This is a superb supplier of horticultural equipment, including cages and ground cover materials. The service is unblemished and truly excellent, and goods are despatched very quickly and well packed. They deserve to succeed, as they have!

"We really liked these connectors which won the Product of the Year award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012. You have to tighten up the screws firmly so they grip the aluminium tubing but when this is done they are very secure. The frame our tester built was stable and a lot stronger than one made of bamboo. It easily supported the netting without snagging. However, wse did think the shiny aluminium poles (sold separately) would be tricky for plants like runner beans to climb up."
