Some years ago and before I moved house, I used 8ft plastic canes
(simulated bamboo) to support runner beans. Are you able to supply, or
give me a source of supply of this item. Any idea of prices plus
delivery? Thank you for your time.
Regards.
John.


The larger B&Q sheds sell green plastic canes in various lengths from 4 foot
to 8 foot

Thank you. I've looked in B & Q a couple of times
but received negative answers.

If they're what I'm thinking of the tops are blunt and rounded and the whole
thing is a bit knobbly looking? I just can't think when I last saw such
canes because I've never used them myself. Do they *have* to be the plastic
ones? Can you not use real bamboo or pea sticks from a hedge? Is there a
particular reason for your preference?
