Good analogy. I'm sure they're good value, maybe a touch excessive for our fairly sheltered plot. Either way, out of budget for this season, something to consider for next year maybe.
I remembered my parent's neighbor owns a scaffolding company. I've put in a cheeky request for any castoffs he has, though not sure if that's really a thing.

Old scaffold boards make great edgers / planters / walking boards, grab those!
The short poles are good for hammering into the ground to secure palettes to make into waste bins / storage frames for canes. Longer ones (if you can get them hammered in!) with green wire strung between for all kinds of fruit / veg training up to save space :) -

I'm sure I've read that scaffold boards have to meet certain health and safety specifications so some old used ones may become 'available' .
The scaffolders that were here at my mansion block during a renovation left a stack of them behind.
Not for long though - I had them 😇

No but worth it if you want the thing to last - the quality of the steel and polythene is way better than the cheaper toy stuff - think £99.99 bike :)
