I'm not on FB and I could see the video. That is one ambitious project!!

Thanks! We're making do with what we have. This was the jumping-off point:

We had two things to deal with. First, our panels were already made. Second, the raised bed is plastic, not wood, so we couldn't attach fasteners on the outside. We just put eye hooks on the face frame of the panel and used garden stakes that we conveniently already had to secure them. Same basic idea, different execution.

Although she's not what I'd call DIY, I get inspiration from Tamara of The Swiss Plot on YouTube. Her videos are slow but there's always so much to see. She always seems to "have it together".

That’s a nice greenhouse!

Just a reminder...

The squirrels and chipmunks go after the black currants and the red gooseberries once they start ripening (still a few weeks off - we have tiny berries forming but they are of no interest to the rodents). We came up with this PEX and PVC combo to create a greenhouse-y thing that we can drape bird netting or row covers on. 25' of PEX for $7; we had some short sections of PVC that we pounded into the soil in the beds. We bought a furring strip that we'll run across the top and fasten to the hoops for a bit more lateral stability.

Easily removed after the berries have been picked.

I think I'm going to do a version of this on the elevated beds that I plant greens in.
