My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in. Bill Shankly.

Wow mrf94!  that looks really good.  Those supports look meaty!

Are those ventilation holes along the side?  The polythene you have looks much stronger than mine - is it especially strong?

Your plants look happy - and so they should!!

The tunnel is this one    http://www.polytunnelsonline.com/proddetail.php?prod=PT4520 .

The reason the frame looks like it does is because i put the foam insulation
thats used on copper pipe around the top framing to keep the plastic away from the metal much easier than messing with the tape that every one else uses.

i must admit to being impressed with the tunnel considering its price its not the best by any means but its what i could afford,
 Went together easy and has stood up to some good winds, And yes it has vents down each side and the end oposite the door,

Two complaints  The pegs that came with it were useless a joke really , but easy replaced, 2 lol its not big enough
