Haven't seen wilkos but the 99p shop has little ones - I got one last year and it was surprisingly useful.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Are these instore only cos I can't find them online?

They sound a bargain though  :)
Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

I got some from Lidl last year, they're great if you really really tie them down well. They're handy but not easy to get underneath.  But a good deal anyway.

Dunow - I'd guess about 3 ft, but not used one yet.

I brought one of the Wilkos ones, took it up the plot today asked OH (DIY challenged!) to have a go putting it up he promptly sulked, had a go and snapped one of the supports :roll: not sure how you fasten the poly stuff to the frame though i will have to try for myself on Thursday and leave him to make the Tea :roll:

I also got four!

Easy to put up. Ive got my strawbs under some mesh using the poly supports.

I'm having a go at putting one up with the poly cover this weekend so i can plant some early carrots and salads. Cant wait any longer!

After seeing this thread a couple of days ago, I packed my husband off to visit Wilko's in his lunch hour and get me 4 of them.  8)

Guess what. The local Wilko's isn't stocking them. :cry:

So much to do, but so little time.
