Hi Muntjac

I have some wire fencing which could be used but where do the plastic coat hangers come into it?

You can get small ones in the 99p shop at the moment.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I've made mine from Alktathene (water pipe) and polythene.

Cut the water pipe into 1m lengths , insert bamboo in to the ends and insert into the grounds.    Cut the polythene to size length ways and then stretch the cover over them and i usually insert a strong stick at either end and tie my polythene around it to hold it taught but you could use bricks.  :lol:

You're right MJ. I'm quite proud of my greenhouse, even though it's on its side at the moment, awaiting remedial action.
