A friend has made some really good cloches. He used some strong iron hoops on him parents farm with sheets of corrugated roof plastic. It's like a mini poly-tunnel without any ends.
I would like to replicate his idea. I have been looking but can't find hoops of strong material or big enough. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where i can find some, or an alternative idea?
Thanks in advance!

Try the blue water pipe.

I have made a lot of cloche hoops with this over the beds.
They are strong and will not rot.
you can often find them at the side of the road,usually where the water board may have been doing work.
:-X ;) :-X ;)
Hiya, weeds and giggles, welcome to the site, great name, btw ;D
we used old curtain track to create hoops :)
I got mine from screw fix. I ordered it one day and it turned first thing the next morning.
Umm, thanks for the ideas. I think i may have to rethink the congregated plastic bit as i doubt may materials would hold it in shape. I will definitely get on the lookout for what you guys have suggested.
Thanks for the welcome too! :D
