How to Make a Chicken Wire Cloche
Updated: Feb 25, 2022
Learn how to to make a cloche for your garden or front porch using chicken wire and a tomato cage!
Chicken wire cloches are very popular this year as farmhouse decor continues to trend upwards. Cloche (meaning clock in French) is also another word for oval shape and in this context refers to a wire cage that can be used for decoration or in the garden to protect your precious plants from bunnies and other creatures from helping themselves to your hard earned veggies. We've seen several styles of chicken wire cloches across Pinterest and the internet, including this one from Wayfair at $112. The chicken wire we bought for our project was $24 but rolls start at around $8.
Project time:
30-45 min
Supplies Needed:
Chicken Wire (available at Walmart, Lowes and Ace Hardware)
Tomato Cage
Needle Nose Pliers
Gloves
Wire Cutters
Step 1:
Take your tomato cage and turn it upside down so that the circular part is flush with the ground. Then take the top metal pieces and fold them over each other and tuck then underneath the horizontal wire so they stick (see middle photo). Once your tomato cage is in place and you have the shape you want, you can add the chicken wire.

Step 2:
We rolled out our chicken wire and lines of the bottom of the cloche against the smooth edge of the chicken wire so there weren't any sharp edges on the bottom (see middle picture below). We had some extra pieces of wire that were used to tie the roll of chicken wire together so we used that to attach the wire to the bottom of the tomato cage.

Step 3:
Then take the top of your cage and gently fold the chicken wire over the top pieces to create a cone shape. This will take some snipping and finagling. Honestly, the top of ours didn't turn out perfect at the top so we added a festive fall bow at the top and it added so much! And voila! This is currently being used as fall decoration on teh front porch but this would also work great for any tall, skinny plants that you want to protect in your garden.

I liked this post because it gets to the point without using difficult words. A quick clicking challenge can be a fun way to fill a few spare minutes at home. The clicks per second score shows the average number of mouse clicks made during the test. Seeing the number after each attempt can make a simple challenge more interesting.
I love that you used a tomato cage as the base—way better than paying $112 at Wayfair, and $24 in chicken wire plus 30–45 minutes feels totally doable. It’s also nice that it doubles as bunny protection for the veggie garden. By the way, I keep a free Palworld Paldex, breeding calculator and tier list I like to share: https://tamedex.com/

I recently read through Valhalla Vitality's breakdown of MIC B12 shots and really enjoyed the clean, professional layout. The guide covers cellular energy production, liver function, and general wellness support in clear, friendly language. It gives you a complete picture of how these nutrient blends work in the body without overcomplicating the facts. A very solid resource for health research.
