Thank you for this thread, it made it so much easier to explain to OH, he just read it and knew what I wanted! I am now the proud owner of 2 fully covered raised beds at home and a pile of hoops to take to the allotment.
The pipe clips on the side of the beds have worked really well. We have covered them with Wilko's netting and found that if we used tacks placed along the long sides we could hook the netting tightly on to them which has given a very neat finish and weighted it down with a plank at each end.
Although I have been on here for years I still haven't managed to post a photo... one day...
Anyway I am really grateful for this thread - the cabbage whites won't be as they were eyeing up my brassicas yesterday!
Thank you :)
