Hi All
I would like to replace the plastic on my cloche's, I've had them that long that I don't know who made them, the legs fold-up and each cloche is about 2ft long, the plastic is supplied as a sleeve which you pass the folded legs into(hope that made sense).

Any suggestions

Cheers

Sky Blue, what sort of plastic?

Rigid, semi-rigid, file, wire reinforced film?

Size, shape, photograph?

Every bit of info ups the chance of a helpful reply.

I have the exact same sort, wire hoop each end with a piece of wire from hoop to hoop at the ridge. These are hinged and fold flat awaying you to slip over a sleeve of light, PVC plastic film. Fold the legs out and you have the cloche.

Mine are about 5 years old now and the plastic is still fine though a touch cloudy. I bought them in a local garden center I believe.

Part of me thinks they were from Ferndale but I cannot swear by it:

Certainly looks similar.
