We have this section of garden we use for vegie planting but need something to cover it from pesky birds and possums they like to come and chew things. In summer we have tomatoes so will need to be tall enough to cover it. It's an odd shape so I'm think we will need to make something ourselves. Anyone have any ideas of materials or how to go about such a thing? It's inna front section of the house so doggo pictured won't be able to access it so cover doesn't need to be dog proof

Ive used everything from poly pipe to rebar mesh to tomato Stakes. I even just took a broken clothes horse to the garden shed to use next year.
Just find something to loop over or prop up a bird net. And pun down the edges with rocks/bricks or garden pegs.
Depends how pretty/inexpensive you want to go.
Also read somewhere that birds go after tomatoes because they are thirsty, so ive been keeping a shallow bowl of water nearby so they can drink, which seems to have worked.
