Thanksi am thinking it will have to be 63mm pipe to fit over the scaffolding poles, but just want to be sure,
Hi Phil... you can also see a plan of the large polytunnel I built from water piping, still going strong after 2 years. Great as a fruit cage and slightly warmer & calmer microclimate.The link to the plan is here: http://allotmentheaven.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/how-to-build-fruit-cage-or-polytunnel.htmlAnd a recent photo of the polytunnel is here: https://picasaweb.google.com/103946676037406892119/AH2012?authkey=Gv1sRgCLmFsOHQtJn1uAE#5740054206790748610Regards, John
It might fit perfect now but remember that it will spread on the end you knock in. The best tool for the job is a post slammer. other wise you may have to trim the top of the pole with an angle grinder.
Phil, Just as an after thought how do you intend to secure the tubing to the pipe i find the best way is to use Tech Screws
