Title: Fruit cage - can you recommend one?

A friend would like to buy a metal-framed fruit cage and has asked me to find out about them.  Can anyone recommend a make?

Agriframes are good for that type of thing although not cheap. (Bought an excellent arch from them).

if you can get your hands on some timber or some blue pipe, then make your own....much cheaper

My allotment neighbours have just given up on one of those with aluminium bars and "ball" joints- it just wouldn't stay up in the wind.

Try old gazebos or party tents.
