Default Years ago on TV they showed a ring which was used to keep plastic bags open when sweeping leaves etc. Do they exist?

An offcut of solid core mains cable formed to the right shape is a lot
cheaper and almost as effective.

The trouble with a "ring" is that it won't keep the bag upright, in the
way that a suitable dimensioned bit of plastic sheet rolled into a
cylinder will. I've been vaguely looking for suitable sheet, but an off
the shelf product would be good (if the price is OK).

They are available; try a garden centre. -very good if you're filling
the bag with hedge clippings etc. as the plastic sheet stops the twigs
poking through the bin bag.
