My polytunnel cover resembles a colander. It is (was) a green mesh cover with plastic squares between the mesh, now just the mesh remains after heavy rain last year popped out a lot of the plastic squares. I'm going to get a new cover for the top of the tunnel, leave one end for the time being as that was undamaged and set up a new frame etc for the door end. So basically right now I'm going to buy some ultra violet inhibited polythene sheeting to cover the top.
I thought I'd leave the mesh there as it might be an easier way to fix the new cover but that's my question really. If you're just covering the polytunnel (ignoring the ends) what's the best way to attach it to the tubular metal frame and current cover?
Hope that makes sense, if it doesn't I'll try to explain better.
Cheers!
I dont see how you can fit the skin without going over the ends, you have to secure both ends to stretch the skin tight, also to stop it from lifting.
Thanks Davy - I think you are probably right. I'll have another think.
Can you put a photo on, although i have never worked with the propper metal framed tunnels i may be able to come up with some alternative

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here are a couple of photos I took just after putting it up
