So perhaps line the playpen with some old debris netting and use it to store your leaf mould next year, or as a framework to keep netting off you plants, and undesirables away. Are the chrome plate drainers large enough to close off the ends of small cloches?

An alternative use for the playpen would be as a support for outdoor cucumbers or winter squashes, which can be trained up one bar and then horizontally around the top frame.
