Protection : Cages

Hi everyone, I was watching an episode of something on the television, I can’t recall the name but it was all about growing your own.

Featured on the show was these like metal mesh tunnel cloches used for protecting against birds and squirrels etc but I have since googled and cannot find anything. Has anyone seen these or know what they are called and where to get them?

Thanks

 

Hi,

Lots around, just depends on the size you want ?

Also Ytubes on how to make your own from rolls of Chicken Wire.

 

I use debris netting from mudfords to keep the pigeons and butterflies off, it is a lot cheaper than stuff sold as butterfly netting. It is strong and uv treated too, you do need to buy by the 50m roll though and it is only two widths, 2m or 3m. It keeps deer and rabbits uninterested too. Doesn't work for carrot fly unfortunately.

It also works well as a windbreak
