Wow very professional looking it is too. Sadly we aren't allowed to have brick sheds, large poly tunnels etc  on our plots. We can't grow raspberries, asparagus etc either....sigh! xjane

An impressive tunnel!

The blue hoops intrigue me, who is your tunnel supplier.

A web link would be helpful!

Thanks in advance...Tg

Why ever not, OK raspberries can spread around if you ignore them, but not like brambles, and correct me if I am wrong, but asparagus is dead simple to get rid of if no longer required.

No tunnel suplier TeeGee the tubing obtained by a friend mostly its scrounged from firms skips, left overs from jobs sometime a good roll may cost £20. The timber is all recycled and done by the the lads that help, but the screws cost £12 (bloody expensive
All the work is done by about 6 of us its just  a case of helping each other and freinds
To put that skin on took us one and a half hours start to finish

Nice one that looks brilliant. How much was the cover? Is it from a plan/drawing?

I couldnt tell you what the skin was as he wanted extra for a mini tunnel but i would guess about £90 to £100.
There i no plans, the frames are more or less done the same way to secure the skin but the inside of frame is made for how it is to be ventalated.
I could put up some photos of end on if you like
