Title: Need new cover to mini greenhouse
Post by: Digeroo on January 04, 2013, 15:56:29
About 5 years ago a bought 3 minigreenhouse/cloche from Woolworths.   The covers have finally completely disintegrated so thought I might try and make a new ones.  Not sure what grade of plastic I need.  Does anyone have any suggestions.

I did mine last year with bubble wrap from the garden centre with gaffer tape.
Worked well for the season.

What about that Monoflex recommended by Amazingrotovator on 21.11.11 in the "under Glass" section (sorry don't know how to do likes yet).

No it is not a tall one, I find they just blow over.  It is about a meter a square at the base and about 60cm tall.

Like the bubble wrap solution.  Got a large piece I can give it a go.
