Tree in a Cage - Need Advice for Roof
So, I have a bit of a giant quandary...Giant as in, the size of a crape myrtle that's about 20' tall. I built a giant release cage on my deck (I think it's 9x12x7.5 / 8 or thereabouts). When I say 'I', what I mean is that I paid my sister and her friend to build it for me, hence why I'm not exact on the measurements. My contribution to the project was coming up with the initial design and then stapling and sewing the mesh fencing/wire pieces. The thing is, there's a crape myrtle right in the center. My dream was to knit wire around the tree so that the squirrels could climb the lower branches but not escape out the top, and without damaging the plant.
The thing is, The only mesh wire I have left over right now is very hard to weave between those various branches. I mean, maybe someone could do it, but I certainly haven't been able to. Does anyone have a suggestion for a mesh or wire that would be relatively easy to mold around the tree at the top? Or alternatively, should I just leave it open?
