Default Fruit cages
In article ,
says...

I intend building a fruit cage but am wondering what size mesh is
needed. I want to keep the birds off but allow bees etc easy access.

Not strictly an answer to your question, but make sure that
you can remove the roof during the winter, especially if your
located in the countryside and/or high up!

Snow accumulations on a roof can totally wreck your cage, I
speak for experience.
