Moonbells post got me thinking.

Anyone built one?

The reason I asked about the Kay's one's wind resistance was because someone not far from me had built one exactly like the one pictured, and the polythene has got totally shredded over winter.  Wind tunnel rather than polytunnel.  And such a shame - he is one of our newbies.

I would have a go if I thought it would last.  Meanwhile I might just make a very small one with some more alkathene piping and some canes or dowels.

I am thinking of making one, live in the nottingham area, can get the timeber, sheeting, but cant seem to find the piping, yellow gas piping would be ideal, they would bend and go in to some metal stakes in the ground which would be set in post cement,Anyone got any further tips for a home made one
