You need the grow bags as I tried it without them and it did not work.
My Dad made the frame assisted by me. Four posts and using gutter clips to attach the guttering to the posts. I used Canna grow bags, at the time I brought them they were a reasonable price. They are now expensive so would use normal grow bags and make your own.
Guttering and grow bags to grow strawberries upright and off the ground.
Hi yes you can 😀 - this is what I have done on my allotment. Make sure you have lots of drainage holes and strawberries need depth therefore used grow bags. Works really well.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
