If like me you are not very handy, and read the warnings about the perils of tunnels, I hope this of interest.
These 300mm tunnels are made by a small German company called Heki. They seem to me to be decently priced.. I bought one last year. When it arrived I was surprised to find how light the material was, it felt like papier mache more than anything else. To my great surprise it lasted the summer and then the Czech winter with no problem so now I have two more. They are covering the most inaccessible part of my track, where the lavender grows and drops deposits which need cleaning. The reason for the gap between tunnels is a curved section; but otherwise the clearance is very generous. The original tunnel is now completely covered, but is doing just fine.
The other odd thing is that the Czech internet shop which supplies them quotes me a price way below Heki's own. (around £18 compared to £23) Of course, postage to other countries, especially the UK, may change the equation, but if a few people are interested, I will happily write to the Czech guy, and warn him in advance that he might get some more orders. He needs 4 weeks to get them from Heki.
