I have acquired a very long bit of heavy duty polythylene, and I really would love to construct a polytunnel with it. ??? Can anyone advise me how to build a good sturdy frame. Any photos of "one a made earlier" would be a great help..
many thanks in advance
If you do a search you will find lots on polytunnel construction. and cloches. Good place for blue piping is screwfix.

Thanks Robinofthehood, tht's a great link
i am not 100% on this one i read somwhere polythene can make a polly wet on the inside linning this apparently damages the soil and would have to be carfully monitored there was anothe thread recently on A$A about this where there was a discussion as to what the best material to use for this
so sorry for adding my bit but can only say cation varify what i think have read before undertaking somthing in the long run could cause you a big headache
PS might add dont have polly myself only greenhouses so no profesional
