next time i will get ones with single pipe hoops. the join together ones i have used were rubbish. very brittle, the joiner broke easily and ended up using blue pipe anyway. :?

Hmm, I wonder if you are talking about the tunnels from Lidl. I bought 4 a couple of months ago and put 3 out. I found that the joiners are very brittle and most of them were breaking. I have made them stronger by using Duck tape around the joints. I guess you get what you pay for!!! :?

How about using some sheets of corrugated palstic bent over and putting a piece of glass or plastic at either ends? I think you can buy cloches made of this material.
