Title: I'm chuffed with this!
Post by: telboy on May 16, 2014, 13:19:21
Constructed it as protection against flying rats and cabbage whites.
If anyone would like any info. with regard to its construction I would be only too happy to pass this on.
The frame is approx. 20' by 20' and just under 6' high. I was very pleased that it stood up to the strong winds experienced last week.

Thank you all,
In response, me and OH did it in an afternoon, all materials on hand.
The netting is Debris Netting.
The site is somewhat protected by trees(hence the need for FR protection).
The main problem over the years has been the difficulties of the slope of the ground. This has been addressed by using old scaffold planks to 'terrace' the slope. I have two side by side plots.
Thanks for your interest.
