It is far from always convenient to pick fruit from the trees with your hands while on a stepladder - firstly, it takes a lot of time, because the stairs must always be dragged to a new place. Secondly, you can still not reach the desired branch.
Therefore, to collect fruit, it is best to make a special home-made tool that will allow you to cope with the task quickly and without much effort. And you can make it from available materials at hand.
Manufacturing process
For this home-made device, you will need a small section of a square profile pipe, from which you must cut a workpiece of suitable size and shape using a grinder. If there is no grinder, then you can use the usual hacksaw for metal.
Then the part from the profile pipe must be well sanded to remove burrs and bumps. After that, the processed workpiece must be welded to the profile pipe of suitable length at an angle of about 45 degrees.
Also for this homemade product you will need a plastic jar with a large neck, in which you need to make four holes for a U-shaped steel bar. The edges of the rod must be bent and welded to the profile pipe at a distance of about 15-20 cm from the edge.
A homemade garden fruit picking tool is ready to use - with such an assistant you can quickly harvest without the use of a stepladder. For a detailed process of manufacturing this device and its practical application, see the video on our website.
