Alan, I'm just about to build a similar enclosure here for my
blueberries... Is it really necessary to have a chicken wire ceiling?
So far only the rabbits have been damaging the spring buds... Is
yours setup so you can stand up inside of it?
I put floating row cover over my blueberries after they've flowered and set
fruit. I anchor the covers to the ground with rocks and bricks. So far,
the huge chipmuck, squirrel and rabbit population here hasn't snared a
berry. Birds are defeated, too.
