The fruit cage looks great, Hugh is right that you’d never guess it wasn’t purpose designed as a fruit cage. Also it’s really refreshing how honest you were about the labour involved, it was hard graft and you didn’t cut it down to 10 seconds of fluff! Thanks again for another great video

That's sweet. We've got a massive old frame in the allotment that we think about covering with netting every year but never actually get round to it.

I've seen it in your lockdown videos - imagine the currants & raspberries thst you could grow!

We have a gazebo frame and scaffold net as a fruit cage, cheap and has been up for three years so far.

Brilliant! What a great idea. That will look so much better than my polytunnel frame and net!

Key question which doesn’t seem to have been asked. Where did you get the frames from? Thanks in advance 😁

Do you get your wood shavings from a specific brand or place, because I’ve been looking around for some recently. Thank you!

Sorry sent by mistake Meant to ask about those long pins you used to stabilise the frame to the ground

Here you go - they are road pins, brilliant for temporary fences, securing bean tripods in wind and as powerful stakes amzn.to/3wWOr1n (link to our affiliate shop)

Seems it would have been much less work to plant the currants inside the hoop cages in their original position!

I very much doubt that they would grow well when shaded out by trees in dry soil amongst tree roots.
