How To Make a Cloche Or Small Poly Tunnel

[Bigmallly]

I like the look of yours a lot more Bigmally, as you have more height for growing stuff side by side. Haven't started making any yet, but this looking good contender. Cheers

I personally think they are a godsend.........well they were last year......

They are lovely, Bigmally! I will not have enough strength to bend the pipes, LOL

I will not have enough strength to bend the pipes, LOL

You would, just rest them on the edge of a table or similar where you want the bend to be, very easy to bend.

Still not made any, but came across this on facebook! American version making cloche or Poly.

I want to make one of these, primarily I want to make a small poly tunnel. But don't drive and my nearest wilko's is a �6 bus ticket away. I have been looking for a suitable polythene sheet on the wilko's website but can't seem to find any? Anyone know what section its under? Or another on line supplier? I've tried searching a few thong like poly tunnel plastic and poly tunnel polythene but I'm not really getting anywhere.

Depends how much you want,but if you have a nearby builders merchant they may have a "cutting roll" of 1000gauge DPM (under floor damp proof membrane,just make sure they stock clear as a lot only carry black)

Or there is the bay of evil search ......... polythene sheeting

Or if you are building a big un,search ....... polytunnel cover

1000 gauge helps, I suppose any thinner and it would rip too easily. There is a Jewsons literally round the corner, I shall try there first.

Many thanks!

Finally made some protection cloches. The taller ones will need another length of pipe as I was running out. Will get some asap.

Thanks for the likes guys! Much appreciated!
I was hoping to make some like BM but as I take a hundred years to get things done these were quicker to make. If I start thinking about making the square type ones now, I might have some this time next year. Only if I stop thinking about making it and actually doing it!!!!!
