Fleece best buy

I need a fleece cover for a small hoop tunnel, the better grade material. I have done a search but the best that I have come up with is either too long or the post costs as much as the fleece.
Size 2 metres x 6 metres, double quantity if price reasonable. I am about to sow the crops so a reasonably punctual delivery is required.
Recommendations please.

A quick search of my usual suspects gives:

Harrod Horticulture at 50p per meter plus £4.95 delivery. 6m would cost £7.95 or 1.32 per meter.

Kays Discount only do longer runs but these could be cut, 2m by 50m is £14.18 plus £5.50. This is equiv to £0.39 per meter

The Garden Superstore at £0.65 per meter plus £7.99 delivery...Eeeeek. 6m would cost £11.89 or 1.98 per meter.

You may well find it cheaper off line at garden centres or Wilkos to be honest.

I buy mine mainly from Kays as I buy a 100m long roll that works out very reasonable per meter.

I usually buy from the LBS shop by sorting through their oddments. Their website is

but the fleece section isn't working properly, may be worth a call as first order is 10% off, 01282 873333

If you use fleece as a keyword it now works.
Frost Fleece - 2m x 50m - 25g/m2
Ref : R-25250
£15.00

This is the heavier version pp £4.95 gives about 40p/m.

I found what I wanted at Agralan, sensible size and very reasonable on postal fee, quick delivery too.
