Put a search in on ebay, always some cheap on there.

Type Martin NEWTON or Martin Buckle into google (same person) Some of the Chinese skeps sold on ebay are very poor quality and strength.

Martin is an expert skep maker.

If you can source from a UK manufacturer it may be a bit more money but if you want the real deal. Otherwise any cheap thing will do.

It’s a bit like our honey and the cheap supermarket stuff.

Hi, I bought mine from ebay last year. I paid about 29.00 for a large skep.

reasonably priced was the question, not cheap c***. £70 odd quid seems a lot to pay for little more than a basket !
