Have you considered using fleece for your clotches, our local "pound shop" were selling fleece 6mtrs x 1 mtr. I used it and it was great. Made a huge difference to the plants. ;)

Hi, I have recently made cloches using polythene sheeting from Wilkinsons which is about the size you mentioned, it is in their gardening section and is £3.99 so is much better priced than what you have found at the diy stores regards Steve.
