Mine, made out of blue water pipe with light fleece over has worked brilliantly for my cabbages. I'll be doing it again next year. I'll take some pics.

What width fleece are you using noshed?

I've used fleece as well this year by making small tents out of some chicken wire and stapling the fleece onto it will try and take pics and post them up  - made big tubes out of the same stuff  to go round toms pegged them down with tent pegs worksa treat so far but as with everything time will tell. :)

I think it's about 2m (given to me by my mate). It's not very thick and rips quite easily but it does great on the water pipe hoops - just don't go near it with a bamboo stake...

Cheers I've got some but it's only 1.5, but saying that something has been ripping great long gashes in it while its been on my peas. Could be a fox , theres one on our site that seems to go for peas  :?

We used fleece over blue water pipe, but found that it ripped easily , by the birds landing on it or the wind ? so have now got environmesh ,its stronger and does the job well.

I found hoops gave us limited height at the sides .

that's very smart corndolly!  

I use a combination of blue water pipe hoops with viromesh that's 2m wide and canes topped with empty bottles for viromesh that's 3.1m wide when I need more height.

Although viromesh is more expensive than fleece it has a much longer shelf life.
