Anyone else built a Geoff Hamilton cloche recently? Used mine last year for sweetcorn so I could plant it out nice and early mid April. But the snow broke it - it was just cheap b&q plastic covering (very thin).
Just rebuilt it, strengthened the frame, and covered it with 600 guage polytunnel cover this time
Probably overkill but atleast it will last.
Oh for anyone doesnt know - the guy built them on gardener's world ages ago. Basic wooden frame with the blue pipe struts. I add bamboo cane (or dowel) supports. Much stronger than just pinning the plastic down over some bent pipes, but maybe less flexible in use.
