Default Fruit Cage

I've decided that I need to build a fruit cage to stop the Blue Tongued
Lizards eating my strawberries and the birds getting my raspberries.

I did a fairly major google and it seems that there are at least a squillion
Fruit Cages out there, BUT, they all of them seem to either be supplied by
Harrods or similar up market (and thus rather posh) British garden suppliers
or they are rough, spindly and quite tiny structures on British allotment
sites.

Neither of these options will not do in my situation as both would look very
out of place.

I plan to use treated pine poles at the corners and cover it with bird
netting and the dimensions would be roughly about 20 ft square (but with one
corner of it ending up 'pointy' and one side being about 25 ft long).

Has anyone seen any pics of a decent sized Fruit Cage in their wanders round
the Net and that would look at home on a farm where there will be cattle in
a paddock on one side, chooks in a big orchard run on another, a 20ft wide
wind break on one side and a big veg garden on the other?

Looking for inspiration.

Fran
