Title: Plastic for cloche
Post by: Larissa68 on March 20, 2021, 21:03

I must be googling the wrong thing because I can't find any plastic to cover my homemade waterpipe cloche.  My hoops are going to be 2.25m so I was thinking of a 3 meter wide plastic.

I'm not sure what P&P is like from this site but I think this may be what you are after:

https://www.lbsbuyersguide.co.uk/37m-wide-500g-polythene-cover-price-per-metre

You can find 2m widths from this company (p&p free) but I couldn't see anything wider (other than polytunnel plastic at 7.3m width which maybe you could cut down)

Hopefully this gives you some pointers.
