Default Home made cloches for raised beds.

Looking to make improvised cloches using fleece or mesh for carrots and
brassicas. I have found steel rods for 83p per m for 12mm and found 15mm
plastic pipe at builders merchant (may be a bit slack). Has anyone done it
this way, perhaps with alkathene? I was thinking of 36 inch rods 18 inches
in the ground. Beds are 5 ft across.

Would be interested to here of any success - dimensions, costs etc
