The best I have seen locally is buy two get the third free for a total price of £34.

You could always make your own using either greenhouse glass, plastic corrugated sheets or plastic sheeting.
In each case you just need some heavy gauge wire, the sort farmers use for electric fencing and you can make the hoops or in the case of glass, supports.
I use the wire to also make the holding down pegs which works well.

Growbe, are you talking about a cloche?

I think Phil meant a full sized walk-in polytunnel. There are a couple on ebay at the moment.
I hoe, I hoe, then off to work I go.

There's another (link) on the forums - pictures are in colour and it looks a bit better. Can't find it tho' so maybe I'm imagining it.
