I was just thinking we have a very old 5 person tent frame bought circa 1975 which I put into the storage unit 18 months ago because my eldest daughter thought she might need it - maybe, just maybe, if I can find someone to help me sort out the netting we could have a very large frame just like yours!
Where did you get the gazebo frame from? I could do with something like that to construct a fruit cage. Also have you got a door? Also how is it in the wind? have you put the upright poles into the ground?
mjg / eight ball my gazebo came from ebay about 5 years ago for a party - we only paid £40 for it
here's the same one for a similar price ---
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-x-9M-Waterfroof-Outdoor-Garden-Gazebo-Canopy-Party-Wedding-Tent-Marquee-/271838229594 --- I only used half the legs for height as it would be to tall otherwise for just cabbages
, and one other thing we did was drill holes in the tubular frames and plastic holders and placed split pins through them as we found the frame a bit flimflam ( after all it was only £40 so didn't expect it to be that robust for that money
)
we used road pins tied to the poles to anchor it down like these
and I just cut the netting to the gazebo shape and pinned it together whilst the frame was up last autumn and then used nylon twine like this to sew it together - I did it by hand whilst watching TV in the winter - my living room was like a fishermans trawler doing fishing net repairs
no door just open a flap back and climb in and then clip it up again after leaving
oh and I used plant clips similar to these to hold it on the frame
Blimey! That's fantastic. Just how many cabbages do you grow??
about 80 total - summer cabbage , January kings and brussells
