Check out this great article about building a trellis out of electrical conduit. If you replaced the string net with wire, this would be a great way to build support for the smaller fruits. I'm not sure it would be sturdy enough to hold up an apple or pear laden with fruit but it would work wonderfully with currants, gooseberries, or even raspberries.

Thanks for the re-blog! The trellis is remarkably strong with 2.5 feet of re-bar in the ground, and 2.5 feet supporting the uprights.
