Large Wire Garden Cloche | Extendable Plant Protector

A wire cloche for protecting seedlings and young plants

This powder-coated wire cloche is a practical and good-looking solution for protecting seedlings and young plants from birds, pests and garden interference. The open wire construction allows full sunlight and airflow to reach the plant while keeping it physically protected — no need to choose between coverage and growing conditions. Built from durable iron with a dark grey powder-coated finish that holds up well in Australian conditions.

Extendable for growing plants

The cloche comes in four sections — a top dome and a three part removable base extension — giving you two configurations depending on what your plants need. Use the top section alone for compact seedlings and low ground cover, or attach the base for taller plants that need more room. A ring handle at the top makes the cloche easy to lift and reposition without disturbing surrounding soil or plants.

In the Australian garden, where birds and possums can devastate a seedling bed overnight and where establishing new plantings in open ground requires some early protection, a well-made cloche earns its place quickly. The generous diameter gives plants room to establish without the cloche touching the foliage.

Easy to store between seasons

At the end of the season the base separates into three lightweight pieces, making the cloche straightforward to store flat without taking up significant shed space.
