I think i had mentioned that I am having problems with squirrels eating my veggies fruits for the last 2 years. Last yea rI hired someone to put netting on the whole garden but somehow the squirrels managed to get in and ate most of the fruits. this year i did it myself with out help from DH but every time he sees me working on it early in the morning he just shook his head and he never made any comment. The project took almost a month and lots of thought went into the construction.I did this before i play golf!!! I had never done anything like this, I am a retired nurse so I might have been a carpenter on my previous life LOL!!! I learned terminologies like rebars, furring wood and and cables.I have 3 types of tomatoes . oriental eggplants, large purple eggplants, sweet peppers, okra and shallots The hot peppers are outside in pots.Yesterday I saw a squirrels going around on top trying to check if he can go in.I hope he does not chew the plastic chicken heavy duty netting. I also used chicken wires. Please let me know how you like it. Belle
