Thanks for sharing, the waste water pipe and the pickets are a useful idea. It's expensive because everyone is making killing around here with chicken wire. I have three trees to cover. It's worth it for tree ripened organic apples and peaches! The trees produce a ton. The organic fruit at the store is crazy expensive and who gets tree ripened fruit? You cannot buy fruit that is fully ripened on the tree. The stuff in the stores is picked way too early and missing the nutrients. Therefore, is it worth it? Of course it is. It's worth the cost and effort. thanks again
....2 years later ....after Corona ...have u changed view on this? ....better to have it to be independent from market ....if they decide not to let u in if unvaccinated and no digital certificate
Lots of these materials are readily available 2nd hand, or as waste. Rural properties usually have a bunch of PVC pipes and star pickets laying around.
Great type of critter protection & I understand why it's so wide.....but.... Who will trim around the bottom of all of these inside & outside if you have many trees to protect?
Could someone please define "twitching wire"? Also, what gauge is used? Love this structure. While it does appear expensive to build, consider the heartbreak of having birds and squirrels devour/destroy all the beautiful fruit that you've worked so hard to cultivate and the cost of the plants, fertilizer, and your hard work to bring it all to fruition, all for nought.
The cost ($$$) and time cost for this must be unbelievable. I wonder how many years of production it would take to just pay for the materials.... Imagine doing this for 100 trees! or a thousand!!!
Joey if you have a large number of trees there are much better methods, usually canopy netting where the netting goes horizontally over the whole orchard. Done by professionals. This video is strictly backyard trees.
Khaleefa X If you take into account the number of years of fruit production with the fact that this is reusable every year then it’s more than worth it. Especially if you have already put the effort into nurturing the tree.
@@philippabettison897 Recently I planted two cherry trees, an aprium tree, a flavor king pluot and a flavor queen pluot, a pear tree, an apricot tree and a pomegranate tree in my backyard. I simply put granular Deer Scram to create a border around my trees and sprayed the trees with Liquid Fence. No deer comes near anymore. I will put a net on the trees when it's fruiting time. The only thing I like about this video is the display of an antique drill machine in action.
Khaleefa X Most people who grow a few fruit trees seem to prefer the taste to what they can get in the store. They can grow fruit that isn't designed to be transportable over long distances but instead concentrate on the flavor and unusual varieties. They can also decide if they want to grow fruit organically. They like the control over the process. And there is something wonderfully luxurious about taking a ripe piece of fruit off a tree and eating it then and there while it is still warm from the sun. Figs and plums are my particular favorites for that. Where you save vs grocery stores is if you have a lot of fruit that you put up as jam or juice or something to use the rest of the year. If you sell most of the fruit, that will lower the overall cost of what is left for home use, and you can amortize the price of trees, netting, etc for production over many years if you don't do it a few years and stop. Well-maintained, mature fruit trees can also enhance the value of a property so that is another financial plus. Alternatives are pick your own farms and buying in bulk at the farm, such as by the bushel or crate. Those can save you money over grocery store prices, too, if you are willing to put in the work of saving it some way to eat later. But if all you want is a piece of fruit now and then, the grocery store is probably the cheapest and least delicious way to go, unless they purchase their supplies locally and then you might get lucky with something quite good. Farm markets are great for in season food but usually charge more than a grocery store unless you buy in bulk or get their seconds which look worse or are so ripe they won't last another day. I look for seconds with tomatoes. :) Or cheapest of all, have a friend or family member overflowing with produce who begs you take some off his or her hands. :) (Seriously, why does anyone in the US plant zucchini? By the end of the season it can't even be given away!)

I had just the same thing in my mind to protect my persimmons from birds and squirrels thank you for sharing your great idea ❤
Thank you sharing this idea!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Best system I've watched yet, simple precise and gardening for beginners super friendly THANK YOU
Such a great tutorial, keep up the good work
That's a great method. Different from a lot of others around the web. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the idea.
I’m definitely making this for my peach tree this fall! 🍑
someone should make and sell prefab sizes so you dont have to rebuild every season.
Frankly the cost of protecting a fruit tree makes it a completely non-viable proposal unless you like very expensive fruit.

Did I miss something? My PVC pipe is the same diameter all the way through. It simply is not possible to insert one end into another
I'm doing my entire gardening space with threaded netting for those pesky cabbage butterflies
It’s much , much harder on a fully grown tree Your example is the easiest. Small tree, isolated , on level ground
Would you please provide a link for the dome shape netting? I’m not able to find it. 🙏

Squirrel digs under chicken wire
*I can spend and buy the same amount of fruit from a grocery store that this tree is going to produce with the money I spend on materials and labor.*
