I want to build a fruit cage.

Are build a balls any good for use with bamboo canes ?.

Can anyone recommend a cheap place to buy them ?.

TIA,

Bamboo canes wont be strong enough the windage on the netting will just
flatten the whole thing.

2x1 roof battens are the smallest I would go and they need bracing at the
corners as I discovered, I have ended up with masonry and telegraph poles
but at least its now solid!
