    That's a bit of a wide ranging question. What size cloches - do you also mean frames for things like brassicas or peas, or simply something about 18" high and wide? What sort of netting - to protect against which pests?

    For netting I'd go with ebay every time once you've identified the appropriate product.

    I keep old lemonade bottles and cut in half to use as a cloche.

    99p shop for netting for my strawberries - depends how much you need.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • i use debris netting (which i got for free from a local scaffold company)

    if you want glass tent cloches (and can get the glass for them) i know of a local place that has hundreds of the wire frames (for reasonable price) pm for more info
    saving money by growing my own - much of which gets drunk
    made loads last year :beer:
