Yes, if you tie a piece of copper wire round the structure.

The best material is some old TV co-ax. tear off the outside coating
(many of them are pre-scored) and push (don't pull!) the braided

You'll find the bare screen will stretch to several times the length
of your original cable.

Thank you. Val, have you used this on your raised beds?

You're welcome.

Advice is free. Copper comes a bit dearer.
