Greenhouse Frame as Fruitcage

Hi,

I was thinking of using an old greenhouse frame covered with mesh as a fruit cage and possibly using it to grow beans up one side next year. I was wondering if anyone else has done this or if people think it will work.

Cheers,

PS - I thought it was meant to rain today!

Aw don't, I'm sick of the rain, had storms for most of last week, ending up with four dead tomato plants in the yard. Not impressed  :evil:
Stupid weather grrr

I thought it was meant to rain today!

It IS!  :evil:

I think your greenhouse frame fruit cage sounds like a great idea Arls!  

Should work very well.   I'm on the look out for a fruit cage and wondered if the frame of a gazebo would do the trick if I can pick one up from Free cycle.

Sounds a great idea.  Hasn't stopped raining here all day so far.  Bah humbug. Can't get in the garden or the lottie.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm going to wait till autumn so I've got a better idea of where to put it and then ask around on the allotment and on freecycle. Hopefully we'll be able to get a big one, although putting glass in it and having another greenhouse will be tempting too!

I was originally thinking about using a gazebo, but I thought that I'd have to make it a lot more structurally sound as our allotment is a wind-tunnel at the best of times and I didn't want it to warp and then blow away. At least with a greenhouse, it can be pinned down and once the mesh is on it should keep it's shape (fingers crossed)
