Never thought of that,end of this year we are thinking of a fruit cage...few gazebos and net......

[richyrich7]

Brill idea shaun shame I've just threw the joints of our old one away  :x    I kept the poles cause I thought they might be handy, suppose I could stick em in either side of my rows and chuck the fleece over the top.

All advice gratefully recieved Shaun.

My son and his mate have managed to scrounge an old polytunnel frame for their fruit cage off one of the abandoned plots, some people have all the luck

[Sadgit]

never even though about using plastic milk cartons before...

Shame on you SG.  Milk cartons are in such high demand in my house that Mrs Golf has to remind me to drink the milk first!

I use old scaffold net I scrounge. Its bomb proof and no flying thing that I know gets through.

For a frame I buy 10 3metrs lengths of overflow pipe from Screwfix for £9.99, and gaffer tape. Depending on how big a frame I want I either bend the piipe into hoops, or make square frames with tape.

Its works brilliantly
