Revive the classic art of cloche gardening with our authentic Low Barn Cloche Frame Sets — the traditional way to grow earlier, tastier produce without plastic.

Imagine lifting the lid on your veg plot in early spring to find vibrant salads, radishes, herbs, and spring onions thriving under perfect protection — weeks ahead of uncovered plants. These Low Barn cloches (also known as Chase barn cloches) are the proven, time-tested design beloved by generations of market gardeners and allotment holders before polytunnels existed.

Handcrafted in batches here in the UK, each set includes:

  • Durable 'A' frame made from pre-formed solid mild steel round bar — untreated for a beautiful natural rust patina over time, yet built to last decades in the garden.
  • Galvanised high-tensile steel glazing clips (two per cloche) and a sturdy carrying handle on the ridge for easy lifting and repositioning — perfect for harvesting, weeding, or moving to follow the sun.
  • Bespoke assembly support post included with every order — makes glazing simple, safe, and quick, minimising any risk of breaking your glass panes during setup or seasonal storage.
  • Flat-packed in a sturdy box with clear assembly instructions.

Each assembled cloche (with your glass added) weighs about 5.5 kg — heavy enough for excellent wind stability thanks to the classic 'A' frame shape, yet light enough to lift single-handed using the ridge handle.

Key benefits for serious growers:

  • Warms the soil quickly and shields tender crops from late spring frosts, wind, rain, and pests
  • Extends the growing season at both ends — enjoy earlier starts and later harvests of top-quality home-grown produce
  • Provides ~4 sq.ft (0.37 sq.m) of protected growing space per cloche, with a max apex height of 14.5” (37cm) — ideal for low-growing crops like salads, herbs, radishes, spring onions, carrots, and more
  • Eco-friendly and plastic-free — a sustainable, long-term investment that looks charmingly rustic in any veg plot, allotment, or walled kitchen gardenEasy to end-seal runs of cloches using two extra panes and a simple cane/wire fix for full enclosure.

Glass not included — source your own economical 3mm horticultural glass locally:

  • Two wall panes: 24” x 8” (610 x 203mm) — three cut from one standard 24” x 24” sheet
  • Two roof panes: 24” x 12” (610 x 305mm) (Low Barn design is more glass-efficient than High Barn versions.)
