I've sussed out that those thin green garden canes would be ideal. Here's a
link to the B&Q website to the ones I mean:http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9...
They're 1.2 metres long and cost £2.48 for 15 in B&Q. This seems expensive.
Can anyone recommend a wholesaler who might deliver me about 1000 of them at
a cheaper rate (or even better an Edinburgh/Fife-based supplier)?

Looked around on the web and found a few, below are a couple which
could help. Found 500 sticks for 25 quids. Not bad. Good luck.
