Increasing height of 18" strawberry cage

I have an agriframes strawberry cage which is only 18" high. https://www.agriframes.co.uk/strawberry-vegetable-cages
It was a £15 bargain in a charity shop a few years ago which I erect over the strawberry bed each year. However as I get older I am finding it harder to crawl around under the net picking the strawberries. I am looking for a way of cheaply and easily making the cage taller, perhaps even 5' in height but I have no DIY skills. It would mean I could plant other soft fruit in the bed which is 4' x 12' and produces more strawberries than I can eat.
Suggestions welcome please. I have plenty of netting, just need a way of easily increasing the height. Thanks

Our garden centre sells connectors (corner & straight) which connect runner bean canes together for exactly this purpose.0

How thick are the upright poles to the exact mm? Getting longer ones that match the thickness (perhaps tent poles?) and then sewing on a mesh extension would probably work.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.
