    In England, when the postman cannot get something through the letterbox, they knock on the door. Isn't it the same in Ireland, mate?

    The other option is to leave instructions for the postman to post it lengthways rather than sideways.

    The postbox thing was a joke!!! lol

    too expensive to get it posted when there could be anything off a clothes line or anything.....just a temp job

    The same thing happened to me and I used a length of 1/2" PVC pipe and some PVC fittings to fix it.

    Still holding up great after a couple years. In fact, IMO, the PVC pipe is much better than those cheapo metal ones that come with the tents.

    Best time of year for mint temps if you have the equipment as no random hot days.

    1/4" dowel from B&Q or hardware shop should be fine bud. Tbf I am not sure if you guys get a B&Q heh.

    Could you not try copper pipe with acouple of straight couplings? You can get copper pipe in 15mm-1/2" or 22mm-3/4". If you want to bodge it use gaffer tape instead of straight couplings.
