Clanger,

What do you need 100M for ? Cloches?

is the 442 for a brew up?
442 for:
brew up at the plot
brew up when out hiking/wild camping
brew up when on Scout Camp (Assistant Scout Leader)

And yes, the tuning is for 8-10 5.5m net cloches for brassicas and less for winter plastic cloches.

Do you think kids hoola hoops cut in half would work?
Maybe I could nick all the hoops from the PE shed at school ;D

For years I used unleaded army stoves (made by Coleman) which I bought for about a fiver each second hand from our local Government Surplus. I've now changed to a Primus Omnifuel I got free with a tent from Terra Nova. No idea if the old ones are still in the garage.

Can't help on the stove, I was going to suggest making a rocket if it was to be static.

If you have the net already, could you not use a post and rail of rope and timber to make a sort of net tent as a stop gap?
