I'm lucky enough to have been given a polytunnel frame ;D It was sitting in a corner, unused, at my Mums work, having been dismantled a couple of years ago. So, no instructions, or anyone left who saw it when it was up :-\ It's been sitting in a corner of my garden now for a couple of months, and every time I try to work out how it goes together, if it's complete, or even what size cover I need to buy, I feel like I'm trying to read a foreign language. I'd love to get it up at the allotment asap, but as I've never had a polytunnel before, I really don't know where to start.
Does anyone know of an online idiots guide to Polytunnels, ideally in pictures ::)
Hopefully this will give you good idea..there should not be that much difference between different manufactures tunnels...

Our 30x10 poly is 6' spacings between hoops, the communal one, 40x14 is at 6' spacings. Good place to start is count your hoops, may give you an idea how big it is, plus, have you got the ground tubes and how many?
Any crop bars?
Ray says put the long straight poles together, it should give you a guide to how long it is. :)
Thank you both :-*
I wish I'd asked while it was still light outside, but will have a look in the morning at what I've got, and no doubt be back for more advice
