Hi,

I was watching uktv gardens earlier today and saw some cloches made from a corrugated pvc sheet held in place by some brackets/hoops. The hoops were greeen plastic and seemed to be seperate to the pvc sheet.
I was wondering of anyone had seen any of these type of cloche brackets or knew where to get some?
They seemd useful as the pvc could be varied to suit the length and any number of brackets could be used.
They seemed to hook onto the edge of the pvc sheet and have a piece going across the top to keep it down.

You could always try making some! Straitghen out a wire coathanger and form it into the shape you want. Push it into the ground in situ. Put the corugated plastic over the top and tie a piece of string to the bottom of one end at ground level, stretch it over the top and secure at other end. Wallah!!! Home made cloches.
Can also be used with polythene allowing you to roll up the sides for watering etc. although you will need to put a loop in the wire at each side to secure the string at ground level if using plastic!
