Used as a cloche

Nice one Mike B :). Someone on my allotment has about half of their plot covered with a version of these at the moment. I was immediately inspired to follow suit ;).

Just remember when you are done with them for the year to stow them away out of the sunlight, this extends their life, sunlight makes them brittle.

Brilliant - do they come the right size like that or have you cut then down?

Also notice the cage behind - is that a dolls house frame I spy with the white plastic junctions??   ;D

[MikeB]

The sheets I brought were 8' long, the bed in the picture is 10'.  The frame is from one of those cheap gazebos, modified

would you need to drill ventilation holes into the plastic ?

[MikeB]

No, just remove the glass at the end when you want to ventilate

[amanda21]

I would guess not as the ends are obviously removable.  There wouldn't be vent holes in the soft plastic cloches - would there?   :-\
