Just popped infor my sawdust for the buns and what do ya know. Arches for £2.99. thats £2 off the regular price.Tony used them to make a frame for the enviromesh. They work very well. Already have 3 across the top of the garden. Well worth the money

Can't - I only go that way maximum once a week, and I'm not sure of the next time. :'( :'(

Amazin that is just plain mean!! We are Wilkies free round here too, and now I have saved it to my favorites and of course will have to buy more than one arch to justify the postage! ;) ;D

Those eyes though.......................... 8)

SORRY, not on topic at all, but you started it! ;D

There can't be many forums where you start off talking about Wilco's arches and end up with David Ginola eh?! ;D

Had to go into Sutton again yesterday and got 3 more. Just have to get some more enviromes now to make the cloches. I am determined that next year everything that's vulnerable will be going under cover. I have noticed that some beetroot I sowed on the edge of the enviromesh cloche is growing really well. It must create a good enviroment for the stuff.

shirlton · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2007, 15:02:46 »

Well what do ya know. Told everyone on the site about the arches and a fellow plot holder went yesterday and they had gone down to £2.25

Hyacinth · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:32:22 »

Our nearest Wilko's in Northfield has cut back on stocking all the useful stuff to make way for food aisles >:(

So this year no more cheapo arches or pergolas or decking squares :'(

Guess I'll have to be getting the train over to Sutton from now on, Shirl ;D

Are you sure it's not just a seasonal thing, Lish? I noticed when I went to collect my - ahem! - six arches on Monday evening that a lot of the gardening stuff has gone, apart from the furniture, fixtures, etc, and there's quite a bit more food on display.

Barnowl · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2007, 10:02:36 »

Perhaps we could have pictures of what's been done with all these arches?

quizzical1 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2007, 10:33:55 »

I can't even find them on their website!!!!!!

Shame because I could have used them next year as the basis for a fruit cage.

Perhaps I'll have to revert to Plan A, and utilise the 8 secondhand 8'x3"x3" posts I aquired from Freecycle. Just think the arches would have involved a lot less work.
