A few years back I used plastic trunking

mine was from a skip!
the doors where made from timber with upvc cover and planed the timber at top and bottom to fit the trunking only using the deep bottom part,worked for me

some people use wardrobe sliding door brackets and sliding guides..
make sure it is strong enough to handle the timber door frames..
and sercure enough for heavey winds in the winter..

my only advise from experiance is only put the cover on the polytunnel on a calm not windy warm dry day..

also on a warm day the polythene cover will stretch tighter you have to pull the cover as tight as possible so it as tight as a drum when cold..

my polytunnel construction photos..

please see video of first polytunnels building a polytunnel great advise before you build the tunnel....

Yeah, looking at that, I wish I had 'pinched' a bit more of my plot to make mine bigger.

Jealous now........
