My mother always covered her strawberries with a net.  She'd anchor the
netting with gallon water jugs, which made pulling the netting off and
putting it back on quite easy.  She also used a fine mesh (like a window
screen) rather than something as large as you're describing.

I'm not sure how big blackberry plants get, but I hope this gives you a
few ideas to make things easier.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.
