That looks like SuperMax for strawberries. Just wow. How did you construct the frame thingies? Are they moveable or just open and closeable? Do you rotate your strawberries every 3 or 4 years like the books say you should? Inquiring and interested minds here. I’m thinking of a ‘honey do’ project having seen those nifty strawberry protectors!

Our strawberries have been going strong for about five years. We keep buying more each year to ensure continuous crop.

The frames are 1/2 inch square tubing welded together and the wire is 3/4 inch aviary covering. My son owns a automotive repair facility that does lite duty welding and the cages ARE a little awkward to move but its worth the effort. You may be able to use 1/2 electrical conduit by cutting and bending and having a shop weld them together
