I have an Agriframes strawberry cage which I got in a charity shop for £15 a few years ago. The cage is only 18" high so I have to crawl around underneath to harvest the fruit. Some raspberries have also spread into the strawberry bed so I have to bend the canes over to put the net on.
I erect the cage each year in time to protect the fruit but as my back dislikes the low crawl for picking less and less each year I am wondering if it is possible to raise the height of the cage.
If I could do it to walk in height 5-6 feet that would be great. I don't have any DIY skills so I am looking for a simple and cheap solution I can physically manage each year. The bed is 4m by 1.2m and the bonus of a taller cage would be getting a good crop of raspberries or even being able to grow other fruit in the bed.
Is there anything like extension legs I could add to the exisiting legs. I have tried an internet search and am not having much luck.
Thanks for reading.
