Hi all,

The polythene i used last year was the temp cover from b&q for £20 its only about 60 micron thick and after a few storms and a fortune spent on repair tape it just got me through till  1st week of jan this year. :P

This year going for something a little better and ive found this on the auction site

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLEAR-POLYTHENE-SHEETING-PLASTIC-COVERS-4m-x-50m_W0QQitemZ320330036291QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item320330036291&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

joining it ??? no problem with some duck tape with glass reinforced stuff & extra sticky, from cpc/farnell .The polythene is a 125 micron thick a lot better i hope :-\ and polytunnels you buy have there sheets at 150 micron :D

folks near to donny are welcome to come and have a look :)

If you have not bought your sheeting yet, have a look here as it's UV treated so will not become brittle.
