Product Reviews
The frame is OK but very sharp edges so be careful - I put tape around them. The string that comes with the frame is very thin and difficult to see and ties itself into incredible knots that took an hour to untangle. Best use wire or good garden twine that you can see. Eventually it will be good but with modifications that could have come with the package originally.
THanks for making us aware of the difficulties you had with the product. This is not something we have heard before so will investigate and get our design team to review your comments.
Certainly looks better than wooden posts. I ended up concreting the vertical posts in with postcrete as first one came loose whilst adjusting the second one, not much concrete required. I did also have to shorten the second horizontal rail, not too difficult using the offcut to redrill the holes at the end.
Found that our wooden supports rotted very quickly and needed a more sturdy replacement. Good quality product and provided you had two people the assembly was not difficult. Would be more difficult if you need to cut the length down. Will see how it goes this season but looks sturdy and effective. Just thought it a little expensive...but seems to dd the job.

If space is tight, have a look at a small fruit cage just big enough to cover one row of fruit from Harrod Horticultural.
