Product Details

The cloche frame is crafted from pre-formed solid round mild steel bar. Left untreated, it will gradually develop a natural rusted patina, giving a classic rustic appearance while ensuring exceptional longevity.

A single galvanised spring steel handle connects the two glass panes and sits at the ridge, allowing the fully assembled cloche to be easily lifted and repositioned. This makes tasks such as planting, weeding, and harvesting simple and efficient.

Each assembled cloche (with glass) weighs approximately 0.6kg, providing excellent stability. The ‘A’ frame design helps the cloche remain secure even in windy conditions.

Glass Not Included.

Glass panes are not included and should be sourced from a local supplier.

* Required size: **610mm x 305mm (2’ x 1’)

End panels for individual cloches or runs can be created using the same glass size, secured with a cane and wire to the frame.
