Great pressie mrf. Happy birthday in advance ;) :D
you lucky lucky boy ! ive always wondered how you pull the plastic tight do you need lots of people and how long did it take you to put up ..im amazed how strong they are i was watching one at my site last week when we had that cold strong wind last week ..i thought it would take off !!! but it didnt want another plot now .....
It took about 2 hours to erect, luckily the wearther was warm which allowed
the plastic to soften, There was no wind and the sheet comes in one piece
ready made up,so it only took the wife and i to pull it over the frame then a bit of tugging here and there to settle it in,
To be honest it was quite an enjoyable task,The instructions were photo based and understandable,
The only thing that let it down were the tent pegs that came with it, About 6 inch long pieces of straight wire bent over at one end.
At the mo its got large stones holding it down as well as the pegs , I folded the plastic in at the bottom not out so i can run paving stones all around the outer edges of the turned in plastic giving me weight and a ledge for my "black buckets"
I also have a few larger squarish containers that im looking forward to using that will allow me to hopefully grow other things beside my toms n peppers .
And i think the slow cooker i bought her may have had a softening up
effect because she loves it, brisket never tasted as good as it does now

I wish you well with your polytunnel projects and hope you keep us updated on your progress...... wonder what you will actually get for your birthday in June... if you play your cards right you may get an extra present!!! especially if you grow some great produce in your polytunnel for your wife to cook in that slow cooker!!**!!

Mine is a little worse for wear at the moment!
;D
Yes saddad but yours and mine arent snitched from an advert.
mrf94
Well, well mrf94, how astute of you .......
QuoteYes saddad but yours and mine aren't snitched from an advert.
Can certainly rely on you to come up with such an endearing yet sarcastic remark!!
Yes the polytunnel is not mine and I snitched it (your words)... via an imagine search via Google.
Firstly I must apologise to you mrf94 for what seems an intention to mislead you, it really was not my intention to mislead you... it was only meant as a leg pull when I was attempting to wish you well with your polytunnel. When I was writing the post in reply to you I had every intention of adding a remark by the imagine to let members know that the polytunnel in the post was most certainly not mine (wish it was as its perfectly planted!) and that your newly acquired polytunnel mrf94 would soon be looking like the one in the picture!!! However due to writing the post in the early hours and being rather tired I was easily distracted by my son arriving home from work from his late shift. I accidentally posted the post without the explanation and thus I have created this misunderstanding.
I AM TRULY SORRY!! to any members that I have mislead with the inserted imagine on my post and I have emailed Dan asking him if it is at all possible to have the imagine removed from my post.
I promise I will be more careful in any future posts!!
I wish you well with your new polytunnel mrf94, I am quite sure you will spend many happy hours planting wonderful things in the tunnel!! Your wife has done you proud!! Oh yes and Many Happy Returns for June!!!!
