Tunnel time 1






Friday and Saturday were spent erecting the new polytunnels framework, its 13' x 20' so is a bit wider than the first home build tunnel. The door frames, roofing bar, crop bars and side frames were all in place by lunchtime on Saturday.
Putting on the cover is simple as long as you have the area clear, all of your tools (cordless drill and screws etc) to hand and three pairs of hands. This cover was fastened down each side within 40 minutes and all done and dusted, including pleating the ends within a couple of hours.
Before the cover went on, my nephew turned up with a beast of a rotovator so I got him to do the inside of the tunnel before it was skinned as it would be impossible to do afterwards without risking tearing a hole in the new plastic.
