well have been looking around for one of these with the stuffer material. My old one had a couple of tears and I made the mistake of getting a very cheap cover from wilkinsons. What i didnt realise was there elcheapo one is smaller and so destroyed that to. This one was a wapping £17.99. Ok expensive i know but just havent seen them around. Its my birthday next year ; )

Ther do seem to be two sizes, and el cheapo one and the larger one, both supplied with plastic covers that will fail after a year or two. Of course a cunning ruse to get you to buy the cover it should have come with or a new one.

Hello Marg, well first check the measurements of the frame you've got as I there there are two main popular ones. This is really the newer more heavy duty material that should (in theory) last much longer than the plastic one it came with.
I bought this from a local garden centre so check the ones around you. I cant think of the make of the Propagator itself but I assume they have a presence online.
I also have discovered at the back of my cupboard that I have a separtate white fleece cover as well which would be for over winter but you/I may get away with this one on its own. depends what you got in there i guess

hi Stevie, sorry i read your blog wrong, i thought you bought the propagator all from new ,so do you suggest i buy one from a garden centre and pay a bit more to get a better quality one. thanks for being patient with me.

Hello marg, I am not sure what the situation is with the new ones but I have seen some small poly sheds with this material. I do think you can get the propagators with the old material but havent seen one yet with this newer though, I guess maybe ask at your local centres, cheers

I agree Stevie...I have bought several cheepos and they all fell apart.....so its been false economy....one good expensive one would have been a better idea...:>)
