Nic! I use netting to keep birds off my raspberries berries. We built a frame out of PVC pipe and draped the netting over it. Then finished by securing it with zip ties.

These are trees though. They’re over 10 ft tall. I have heard pie pans tied from branches - you ever try that?

Or, depending on how much the fruit is worth to you, perhaps you can make a frame from 1.5-2" PVC and some "ell's" & "tee's", and drape the netting over it. This page has netting in various amounts & dimesnions...

My parents made something from PVC, Slip-fit voints , zip-ties & netting like in the link above, and it has lasted more than 25 years. They're in northern Ohio & it was taken down every fall & put back in the spring.

I hope this helps! If there are berry farms/orchards near you, you might stop by and see if they use netting, and if they have any old net they might be willing to give you or sell cheap....

Shut the front door! I never knew this was a thing!!!
