This past growing season, I was able to keep the squirrels out by using a combination of 6 or 8 foot tomato stakes, Quest Bird Dfence black netting, twine, and plastic tent pegs.
I use the twine to 'sew' the netting together and hold the netting to the top of the tomato stakes where needed. The tent pegs are tacked into the ground to keep the squirrels from getting in.
My structures are temporary for the growing season and I take them down for the winter.
This fall, I put netting secured by twine to 4-foot stakes around my strawberry and garlic gardens to protect them from squirrels over the winter. ... I'm hoping this will be enough to keep them out over the winter.
