So this is my second pollination, I'm not sure how big it has to get until you know it has definitely set. But I hope this one has, 'cos I dug in an inch-thick piece of cellotex with a slight slope, & put some holes in it. It's just over a metre wide, so this might be a bit ambitious for my first pumpkin! I've got some pieces of 3mm laminate underneath, & my plan is (if the pumpkin grows) I can carefully remove them one at a time, until it's on the cellotex. I've also used an upside-down plant pot to take the roots right next to the pumpkin, but the pot might be a bit small. We'll have to see what happens....
