Making water pipe cover - fixings? Rebar?

[Mr Bones]

I use rebar for pushing into the ground, it's really nice and solid. Can't say exactly what size it is but it's probably about 10mm diameter and cut to roughly 400mm lengths. Regarding the size of net, I bought from a 2.4m wide roll which is ample to cover a 1m wide bed (using blue water pipe hoops) and leaves plenty to hold down either side. It needs to be the length of your bed plus about 2.4m extra to allow for each end. E.g a 4 m x 1 m bed would require a piece of net 2.4 m x 6.4 m. Hope this helps

Where I've cut the pipe I round the corners off - stops it snagging the net and makes it easier to push on and off.

They also slide up and down the supports so I don't have to keep taking off the net to weed, harvest etc.

I will be pinching that one as well

What a brilliant idea Jay-ell,using some blue pipe spit as your clips.

I was originally going to use some of these screwed into the edging but haven't yet and it's been fine

They are what I used on my portable frames that are deep at the top and I screwed through the pipe at the bottom
