Every great work of art deserves to be framed, if only to keep the rabbits out !
EverEdge can supply a frame kit to go with the EasyBed raised bed to keep out the birds and rabbits. Essentially, the kit is made up from some flexible plastic rods and some rubber balls. The rods are connected, using the balls, to create an arch over the bed which can then support a net.
One vital tool, not supplied by EverEdge, is a bottle of washing up liquid. The holes in the balls are intentionally very tight to prevent the frame coming apart. The washing up liquid lubricates the rods making connecting them considerably easier.
Step 1 : The frame will slot into the corner pieces of the EasyBed. To make this possible, first hammer down the corner pins approximately one inch.
Step 2 : Simply connect the rods and bend over the raised bed. The rods should sit comfortably in the corner pieces of the bed.
Step 3 : Join the arches together with a horizontal rod along the top.
Step 4 : Once you have a solid arched frame, the netting can be slung over the top and pegged down to the ground.
Step 5 : Watch the pesky birds and rabbits look mournfully through the netting as your delicious veggies grow unmolested by the outside world.
