How to build Polytunnel - PART 1

So, why are we using a poly tunnel? Here's a great extract from "The Quick Crop"Blog (www.quickcrop.co.uk/blog/polytunnel-gardening/)

"Why Use a Polytunnel?

Most importantly, a polytunnel will enable the gardener to grow fruit and vegetable plants that they would otherwise be unable to grow in their climate. They also extend your growing season so you can grow your favourite foods all year round. Temperatures, humidity, irrigation and ventilation can all be easily controlled via the wide range of polytunnel equipment commonly available. Polytunnels work out much cheaper to buy, maintain and install than greenhouses and are quite easy to put up and manoeuvre yourself. The polyethylene or polythene film most commonly used biodegrades naturally over a long period. It will generally last between 3 to 10 years depending on usage and site etc, before needing replacement."

This weekend we started putting up a poly tunnel on the plot. We got the basic frame work up and all we need to do now is install the doors, a base rail to fix the cover and then obviously the cover. We actually only realised after we put the frame up, but we do need some foundations to fix the tubing. We have come up with a solution which we will explain in the next video.

Hope everyone find this useful!
