Fleece from any garden centre, bits of stiff hosepipe scrounged from wherever with wood dowlings in both ends to make the arches and a few pegs to stake everything in the ground.

ok, does that warm the ground too as well as plastic cloches?

I use plastic bottles cut in two - you can open the top for ventilation if you need to. Hardly the most attractive, I grant you, and pretty limited width-wise.

Scavenged windowpanes and planks here.

Old washing machine doors. Your local appliance repair centre will have hundreds.

Do you mean four complete doors to make a small "greenhouse" or just the glass from one door on top of something?

Use each door to cover one or two plants. Like a mini greenhouse.

Genius..............

I knocked up two 2ft by 6ft poly tunnels by using saved metal from an old 'lean to' cold frame and a poly sheet cut down. Should warm the soil somewhat.

Bit of waterpipe if you know someone who works in utilities - the yellow stuff about 40mm, sheet of UV protected plastic from Wickes.
