extremely lazy, so building a fence or chicken wire covers is out.

Chicken wire is really easy. You don't have to build anything, since you've
already got a wooden frame. Put screws into the wood vertically (so the heads
are sticking up) about 6 inches or a foot apart. Chicken wire comes in rolls
2 feet wide. Cut as many lengths as you need to cover the bed--if you've
got 4-by-4 beds, you need two four-foot lengths. Lay them over the beds, and
hook the wire honeycomb around the screws. It takes about five minutes.
It's easy to remove the wire temporarily for planting or weeding.
