Great website, do you thinkwe could create a forum dedicated to Polytunnel users? Ive just joined and noticed theres a lot of posts for poly tunnel.

Can anyone help with me collecting rain water from a poly tunnel?  Ive seen the stick on gutter, but not sure how effective it is, has anyone used this?

we're considering the stick on but, for a 40' and 30', it's a bit expensive if it doesn't work  ;D

I get around loads of nurseries with polys, yet to see a water collection device in any off them.

It may work for a while but what happens when you get snow as we have now, it will slide off the skin into the guttering which wont take the wieght.
