A lot of sites have instructions for an apple picker made from a 2 liter soda bottle. They really do work, I made one and was able to pick several bushels of apples that I could not reach with a ladder. Earlier this year, I made a new one from a 20 ounce soda bottle for picking cherries and it worked like a champ. I bet you could make one for picking figs and easily pick those that are just out of reach, My cherry pole is on a 10' PVC pole and I could pick a couple gallons in minutes. Sure beats up and down the ladder
Thanks I will have to make me one.
