Topic: home made cloches ?

[trinity]

dose any one have any tips or plans on how to make some home made cloches I have 20 big panes of glass and would like to make some (non technical  :-\) cloches out of them

[kt.]

Nail four pieces of scaffolding width wood together to form the same shape as the glass but make it 2 inches smaller all the way round.  Then just rest the glass on top of the frame over the plants.    In warm weather just move the glass left or right a few inches to allow ventilation.

Would there be any risk of the panes blowing off in a gale? I've been thinking of getting some transparent PVC roofing sheets from a DIY centre and using it for cover, my only puzzle is how to make it secure in a high wind. Much lighter than glass, of course... :D

Hi,
along the top tabs, look for WIKI, click on that tab,
then look for MAKING THINGS, click on that tab,
then you'll see cloches and cold frames,

hope this helps

Secure it using 2 bungees stretched across the glass into small screw hooks in the side of the wood
