Hi Tony, wow! Huge fruit cage and nice of Danny to help you too. I bought a fruit cage last Year but, mine is from first tunnels and my hubby and I built it together and its brilliant. I bought long plastic clips to secure the netting on the top with called times too. The left over netting, I cut it with about 4 inches over and turned my netting towards the inside then held in place with the large staples to hold it in place and as i have bark on the ground so, I covered it with that. Its got through the Winter and all the storms we have all had so, very impressed with how strong it is. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

I have one of these fruit cages and I agree the quality is excellent I’m not the cheapest fruit cage on the market. Mine is certainly not the same size as yours And I don’t grow my fruit in it, I use mine to grow my brassicas and peas . I was finding it very hard to get into my brassicas hope netting as I’m disabled, fruit tunnel was the answer for me.

A first class job. Looks nice and sturdy. What are the actual dimensions of the cage, it looks huge. Did i notice a gap above the door & frame? Will you be taking the roof off for winter? Nice to see you took time to get the levels right....Ive seen one look like the Black Mountains 🤣👍. Nice one guys 🌻🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

Hi Tony, any tips on covering individual blueberry plants in containers? Currently in 15l pots, likely moving up to 30l pots after this season. Looking for large mesh bags or the like but not having much luck finding anything! Cheers.

You don't want to use a soft fabric net like that to keep birds away from fruit, if they fly into it or land on it they can very easily get tangled. If no one cuts the bird free it will die and then scavenger animals attracted to the body also get caught in the net. If the animal is cut free from the net while alive it can still suffer serious constriction wounds, sometimes leading to amputation of limbs. Its much better to use a hardwire mesh to keep animals away from fruit.

Wow £6,000 for the large 2 door cage? I dont use a cage at all and only a few berries get eaten. If there was a problem I would throw some scaffold netting over the bush when the fruit is ripening.

To keep birds out? ...🤔 Actually, I want to keep them in.😂 (small birds like canaries. I'm wondering if these are cheaper than to build a cage with wood and metal mesh with the same size of the little squares on this mesh you used. ...but of course not this big, probably a 4x6 or 6x9 and a height of at least 6 or 8ft.

Nice addition Tony. Guess I'd agree with some, the price. But nothing says, since you buy in modules, you can't start small, and add as necessary. Over the years your soft fruit area has grown and is dedicated needing more netting than most. Question, Does Northern Polytunnel offer any advice on the life expectance of the netting? Seems it may last longer if taken down, but that adds one more chore each Spring and Fall plus the chance of damaging it when doing so. Your thoughts. TYFS, Nice Job Mark n Rosa
