It's a waterproof cover for toys and it neds to be 4 ft x4ft x4ft so sort of an open ended cube

Any ideas what to search for?

Like something that would cover patio furniture?
Try that...

gscrym · 16/04/2006 08:55

Try Grovelands.com. They have garden furniture covers so they might have something that would do for you toys.

Katymac · 16/04/2006 09:19

They are all round

I wonder what size round one I'd need for a 4ft cube?

I wish I'd listened in GeometrySadGrin

try Argos - if it's really a 4ft (120cm) cube you need to cover, a round one with diam 170cm will do it. \link{http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6509103/Trail/C%24cip%3D36581.DIY%2C%2Bgarden%2Band%2Bcar%3EC%24cip%3D36634.Garden%2Bfurniture%3EC%24cip%3D36637.Garden%2Bfurniture%2Bcovers.htm\this} round one is 150cm diam so may do if it's not quite a 4ft cube. The \link{http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=4501&productId=215445\next} size up is 230cm x 165cm so is much bigger than you need.

Will the Argos ones do the job though?

If the cube is 4 x 4 x 4, then the height of the Argos ones isn't enough, the cover wouldn't reach the ground.

Lors of assorted covers \link{https://vault2.secured-url.com/SecureWebStorage/Search.asp\here}. Not sure if anything suitable though.

Link hasn't gone to the page, just select garden covers in the first search box.

MrsBadger · 18/04/2006 15:40

hmm, not sure smaller one would be quite longe enough but rain does fall from above not underneath (usually) so may get away with it!

larger one would be long enough to trail on ground all round.

SaintGeorge · 18/04/2006 15:54

Height on both is 90cm - a foot short so quite exposed.

Just call me picky - in one of those moods today. Sorry Blush

SaintGeorge · 18/04/2006 15:55

The Argos ones that is.

Oh go away StG.

DominiConnor · 18/04/2006 16:19

I'm probably wrong, but might you be better off with a greenhouse ?
Not the glass sort of course, but the plastic sheet type ?
Cheap if nothing else.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 18/04/2006 16:21

Tarpaulins you mean?

Katymac · 18/04/2006 16:24

OK - Full info

I have four sides of a wendy house made out of wood (like you get in Nurseries)

I am going to set it up outside (off the ground) and need a cover to cover it so it doesn't get wet. It is a cube 4ft square

This is what needs covering

Sorry for any mix up Blush

No mix up katymac, just me getting picky over sizes Smile

Like Milliways said, swing/hammock/bench covers are probably your best bet.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 18/04/2006 16:32

tarpaulin/raincover then lol!
