Use a sturdy metal cage in positions where extra security is needed. Install directly onto a sturdy and flat surface like a wall, fence post, or tree on either the long or short side using 4-6 post screws. Insert the hive into the cage to obscure the screws - it will sit snugly inside the cage. The cage includes a rod that is able to be padlocked over the front of the cage (screws and padlocks not included). Slide the rod up from the bottom of the cage to match the metal loop on the cage with the loop on the rod. Padlock through the loops to secure.

You can attach a roof over the top of the cage to protect your hive (roof not included but available for purchase on the products page).

Note - the cage is not compatible with other mounts like a wooden shelf of picket mount. Attach the cage directly to a sturdy and flat surface, and the bottom of the cage acts as a shelf for the hive to sit on. See photos for sequence of installation.
