Another idea is to put a fence with a fenced top around your 4x8' raised bed. You could make one 8' side to where you can open it like a gate. If you choose to try this, Squirrels are basically like cats and mice - if they can fit their head into a hole - they can squeeze their body through it too. Not too sure how that works, but it does.

I hope this gives you some ideas
Salt, my yard has 12 trees, there are fruit trees and nut trees on my yard and neighbours. They leave my garden completely alone, save for the raspberries and the odd tomato. Except they love eggplant! Ihave rabbit fencing around two beds, but don't really want to build more. I might try netting this year...
