For the garden, unless I'm totally making it up, I'm thinking of a roll of pretty rigid black plastic, the sort of stuff that will need secateurs or similar to cut.....all I'm getting when googling is basically bin line type stuff, but I need it to be fairly rigid so it 'stands up' if that makes sense.

Any ideas what I'm thinking of, if it even exists?

Yeah I was thinking it was some sort of pond liner stuff, but that still look rather 'floppy'/bin liner style

Same for weed membrane

Maybe I've dreamt up the thing I'm thinking of.

The stuff you put around young trees ?

Antinox floor protection sheet would probably do it as well.

You could use a DPC roll

That will be rigid and you could staple it to the wood.

Alternatively, if you want something more of a mesh to allow air through and small criters google plastic chicken fence and that will give you loads of options.

Bingo!!! I think that DPC is what I'm thinking of.

I need it solid to also stop the watering system for that flower bed spraying water onto the back of the Egg.
We have a winner I think, thank you!

Bamboo root barrier membrane is very, very tough. Semi-rigid.
