Building a cloche with my debris netting?
« on: June 19, 2008, 14:50 »
I have tons of debris netting so I thought about building a cloche type cover over my salad bed.  Not entirely sure if all the salads will need protecting from air raiders etc but want to give it a go anyway.

Can anyone recommend some type of pipe that will curve over the top??

water pipe - you can get it in places like Jewsons
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I can't remember what thickness waterpipe I bought but I got metres of it on a roll in B&Q for £15. So far I've used it to make cloches over 3 beds, covered it with netting .. still got loads left for more cloches if/when needed.

15mm plastic pipe. Speedfit or similar. I've got a coil which I have plans for.

It's just the right flexibility.

Good luck.
