protection from frost
I'll be giving them a miss then.
You can get rubber balls about 5 cm diameter with six holes in, all at
right angles, for poking the ends of canes into and constructing a
framework like a fruit cage, or joining canes end-to-end. Plastics by
Post do them or similar:

I have some. They are the most irritating, annoying and useless things
I've ever used in the garden (which is saying quite a lot!). The
canes, being of variable diameter, never fit the hole in the ball
(either too large or too small), and if you _can_ get a cane to fit,
it pops out at the first opportunity.
