What are the dimensions of the cloche?

It measures 27 inches (670mm) in height and has a diameter of 20 inches (508mm).

How many cloches are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two Bell Cloches.

Is assembly required?

No, the Bell Cloche 67 requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Can this cloche protect plants from all types of pests?

It provides a physical barrier against common garden pests such as slugs, snails, and birds. It may not deter all types of insects or burrowing pests.

How should I clean the cloche?

Wipe the cloche with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the colour of the cloche?

The cloche comes in a brown colour family.

Troubleshooting

Cloche is unstable in windy conditions.

Secure the base of the cloche to the ground using garden stakes or by placing heavy stones around the perimeter.

Condensation build-up inside the cloche.

Temporarily lift the cloche during dry, sunny periods to allow for ventilation and reduce moisture levels.

Signs of rust appearing on the surface.

Clean the rusted area with a wire brush and apply a metal-friendly, outdoor sealant or paint to prevent further corrosion.

Difficulty fitting over larger plants.

Ensure the plant is centrally located within the cloche's diameter. For very tall plants, consider if the height is sufficient or if alternative protection is needed.

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against frost and wind.

Cons

  • Potential for rust over extended periods if not maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Bell Cloche 67 requires no assembly. Simply place it directly over the plant or area you wish to protect. Ensure the base is firmly on the ground to prevent wind from lifting it. For added stability in very windy locations, consider securing the base with garden stakes (not included).

Compatibility: This cloche is compatible with most garden settings and soil types. It is designed to work with individual plants, small groupings, or newly planted shrubs.

Care: To maintain the cloche's condition, wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use, especially if it has been in contact with soil or debris. Periodically check for any signs of rust and, if present, consider applying a rust-inhibiting metal paint suitable for outdoor use. Store in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
