If you can go bigger then the wooden doubles (favourite ) or larger singles are brilliant and much more sturdy and durable. I put their actual house underneath and it allows a 'indoor' area also. I am a fan of the small pop up plastic cloche (which looks good value on the site you suggest) and they usually last a good couple of summers , plants/weeds grow under also, CB
