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.

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

Mr Smith

Go in to 'The Basic Room' you will see 'the-goodlife' he is your polytunnel man if you are going down the diy route, :)
