Thank you very much for posting the photos of your strawberry 'patch' ... that was a very imaginative, impressive and innovative project. I too like coming up with unusual ways to do usual things. When I first used the landscape fabric in the garden, the oldtimers all poo-poo'd the idea, mostly because I don't think they understood how it would 'breathe'. We have long spells of 100+ temps here and I feared that the black color would cause too much heat, but it actually didn't. The fabric gets way too hot to sit on, but it doesn't seem to radiate the heat up to the plants.

I've read the replies that you've already given about construction, but I was wondering if each PVC pipe that held the pots were anchored into the ground, or was it just the supportive frame that was anchored?

My goats would love to get ahold of my garden area, but their fenced pasture is on the other side of the property for that very reason. If they escape, they've got a bunch of ground to cover before they get to something they can damage. Luckily, they have lots of room and are fed more than they really need, so they don't ever try to escape. ;-)
