Aluminium Tubes 16mm to Make Garden Cages (Uprights) Reviews

4.7 Rating 39 Reviews

Build your own vegetable cages with aluminium tubing. Our 16mm poles are used for the uprights (legs) of a cage however you will need to purchase our 13mm poles for the crossbars and length bars. You will also require joiners or buildaballs.
If you need an exact size for a raised bed and the pole sizes do not suit, go slightly larger then just cut the poles, this is very easy to do.
The 16mm poles are pushed directly into the soil so you will loose some height depending on which tube you choose. Please see guide below:
600mm Tube - Push into the soil 100mm to give you a 500m erected height
900mm Tube - Push into the soil 200mm to give you a 700m erected height
1.2m Tube - Push into the soil 300mm to give you a 900mm erected height
1.5m Tube - Push into the soil 300mm to give you a 1.2m erected height
Please note: We don't recommend going any higher than 1.2m in height with our 16mm aluminium tubes. If you require a taller frame we would recommend looking at our 19mm tubes and connectors.

“Bought these along with 13mm tube, joiner X, Build a Balls, to make a custom made tomato ‘cane’ support. After selecting a 10 inch pot, I extended the Joiner Cross with 4 x 70mm sections of 13mm tube, cut out a 160 mm disc of plywood, drilled drainage holes in it & attached the ‘star like’ structure to the disc by 4 cable tiles after drilling a further 8 small holes into the disc to take the ties, I then attached, vertically, the 16 mm tube to the 16mm section of the Joiner X. The weight of the compost on top of the disc should make this a very stable support which may further be stabilised by using 13mm crossbars & Build a Balls. All I now need is a heavy crop of tomatoes to make all this effort worthwhile. If not, at least i’ve had fun in my shed & been out of my wife’s hair. Think she may be intending to buy me some more bars!”

“The aluminium is thinner than in other poles I've bought elsewhere; this doesn't appear to affect the strength of them, but the bore is very slightly wider”
