    Hello all. I am looking for a fruit cage measuring 1.5/1.8m high, 2m long, 1m deep.
    I have checked I believe everywhere. All I find is cages that are too small or too big. Even if I could get a cage close to those dimensions I would be happy. I have checked Ebay, Amazon and several suppliers from my Gardeners World magazine.

    Please, I am in need of help with this.
    Last year I lost all blueberries and strawberries due to a lack of protection.

    Thanks in advance.

    Time to start building one then AF, plastic plumbing pipes are the easiest thing to use.

    last season, I used my tower scafold with a net strung over it.

      Stainless steel or plastic tubing and old tennis balls for the corners. Make it to your own design and dimensions, Pond mesh is far more robust than pea netting Cheers, Tony.
