Here's a novel approach to customising an unsightly old growbag - give it a makeover with the Grow Bag Cane Frames and Willow Surround duo and turn a sagging patio eyesore into a well supported and stylish rustic planter. Supplied in packs of 3, the frames are made of durable rust-proof plastic coated steel, hold the sides of the growbag together and can hold canes - or our aluminium tubing - of all diameters.
That's the plant support side of your growbag taken care of and the Willow Surround, complete with plant-through coir cover (not popular at all with slugs and snails), will certainly enhance the appearance of the often gaudy plastic outer. Simply place around the bag (the surround and cover can be retro-fitted after planting) and your frog-like growbag instantly becomes a patio prince!

What The Experts Say...

"Cordon or indeterminate varieties are vigorous vines and need support such as tying the plants to a bamboo cane. There are a number of purpose-made tomato supports you can buy, ranging from £6 for a set of wires that slip under growing bags up to £38 for aluminium frames. Last summer, Which? Gardening (June 2008) reported on a trial of ten different tomato supports where the assembly, ease of use and yield of tomatoes was assessed. They concluded the Grow Bag Cane Frame... and the A-Tom Frame (now discontinued), were best being simple and easy to assemble and use."
How to Eat: Cuttings, Gardens Monthly magazine May 2009

"Erecting was just a case of slipping a growbag along the base of three arched shaped wire supports. Squeezing the sides then allowed me to form a central loop of varying dimensions for canes of different diameters.
I've assessed these frames on quality of materials, ease of assembly and how well I think they will support plants. This frame felt super sturdy for what it was. The canes could be pushed through for extra support and were held at a good height. Excellent value for money if you want to plant several bags. And being plastic coated, to prevent rust, they should last a good period of time."

Build Your Own Cage Aluminium Tubing

Building Your Own Cage has never be easier as our large selection of Aluminium Tubing - available in lengths ranging from 0.6m (2ft) to 2.75m (9ft) - opens up a vast amount of vegetable protection cage permutations. The tubing is supplied in two diameter sizes; the 12.7mm version is ideal for the top horizontal sections of a frame, whilst the 16mm tubes are recommended for use as vertical uprights and all lengths and diameters are compatible for use with the Build-a-Ball or Swivel Clip connectors. You'll have a simple, cost-effective solution to crop protection and won't have to spend valuable gardening time hunting round for bamboo canes ever again!

• Aluminium tubing used for the horizontal sections of structures is 12.7mm in diameter
• 12.7mm diameter tubing available in lengths ranging from 0.6m (2ft) to 2.75m (9ft)
• 1.2mm wall thickness on all 12.7mm diameter tubing
• Tubing for uprights is 16mm in diameter to provide extra support
• 16mm tubing available in 0.65m (2ft), 1.2m (4ft) and 1.5m (5ft) lengths
• Designed to be pushed 30cm (1ft) into ground and provide a cage with a growing height of 1.2m (4ft)
• 16mm tubing is made from 2mm gauge aluminium
• Can be used to construct a wide range of frames including pea, bean, sweet pea and climbing supports
• Compatible for use with the Swivel Clips (GDN-950) or Build-a-Balls (GDN-925)
• Used in our own Kitchen Garden (see image below) along with insect mesh protection netting to construct a barrier against carrot fly
• Choose from the extensive range of netting we stock to cover your cage

The wall thickness of the aluminium tubing we use (1.2mm on 12.7mm tubes, 2mm on the 16mm version) is to the best of our knowledge the strongest available, unlike some inferior products offered by our competitors - and as a result our build-a-ball constructions are, in our opinion, the most robust on the market.
