Thank you for the question.
I do not know this product however the manufacturer says that there would be a lot of juryrigging. https://greenstalkgarden.com/pages/faq?gad_source=1
I suggest that you simply follow conventional means to overwinter strawberries outside including a rabbit fence to keep out the dogs. https://extension.umn.edu/fruit/growing-strawberries-home-garden#:~:text=Winter%20is%20the%20time%20strawberry,watching%20that%20snow%20pile%20up!
