want to erect a fruit cage for raspberries, strawberries and possibly a
Morello Cherry.

My grandfather's cage was made of metal water pipe (which rusted) and
chicken mesh. I had to continuously rescue bullfinches from within.

I had contemplated making our cage from 4x4 inch treated timber poles
concreted into the ground and covered with some form of horicultural
mesh.
This however could be quite expensive.

Are there any ready made fruit cages that would be 'just as good', but
easier to erect, and cheaper? I don't want rubbish which will need
replacing in a few years. Birds must be kept well and truly out!

The "business" but expensive, although one does get what one pays for in
this case. We brought a 6 metre square one from them last year and are
rather impressed with it. Wasn't even that difficult for the two of us to
erect either.
We shall see how easy it is to move shortly!
