DIY Cloche instructions

[Ian_5]

Any chance someone would have a link to instructions to making a cloche from the blue piping and polythene sheeting? seem to recall seeing some somewhere but can't find them from a quick search.

any help appreciated.

Hi Ian,

I've not seen any other than creating half circles of pipe and stabilising them on a wooden frame, then covered with mesh or plastic. I'm guessing you can make them round too, if you make the base out of a full circle of pipe too?
I might be organised enough to make some for next year lol

Ian this is the one I've got bookmarked :-

Buiilding frames for insect netting and row covers

it gives measurements on how much plastic/netting you need to the length of piping you're using.
