what about guttering fixed to a fence, sloping slightly, and then fed into a bin at the end of the run? I think it might be a bit more wind proof than sheeting, as long as the fence doesn't wave about in the wind and spill the rain of course!

Davy, I do have a GH but it's at home, not at the lottie. I think the fence will be about 6 feet tall, but it may not be very long, depending on which plot I'm allocated. My OH will be happy to do any fixing that needs doing. I guess I'm a bit sceptical about having a roof without solid walls- we get some strong winds and I can imagine it sailing away into the distance and landing on one of the graves in the cemetery next door!
