1 big net for all my fruit trees & bushes

I hope this works, because it's up now: our 3 dwarf fruit trees (nectarine, peach, apricot) plus our 2 blueberry bushes are all enclosed under one 30' x 30' net. We hammered 6 pieces of rebar into the ground to form the outline of the "room" we were creating and lowered 8' lengths of pvc pipe over the rebar, with pvc elbows on the tops of the pipes to keep the net from snagging. We tied strong rope near the tops of the pipes from one to the other to stabilize the pipes and to form a "wall" top line. Then 2 ladders and 2 of us climbing, and it was done. We're holding it down to the ground with lengths of 4x4s. I hope a strong wind doesn't pull the netting out from under the ground stops.

Sorry, no camera so no photos of it. Has anyone else done something like this?
