New tunnel 14ft x30ft
Hoping to get the poly on this Sunday.
All prep will be done, 4 people.

 How long should it take us? Just have to pull on the poly and pleat the doors and backfill the trench.

Anyone tackled a similar job?

All day? Couple of hours. I know its a bit of a how long is a piece of string sort of question.

Would like to give helpers an idea of how long they'd be needed.
And of course need to try and time food/drink!

Our polytunnel is smaller so this job you describe was done by two people and it didn't take anything like all day, more a couple of hours tops. Your poly, being a bigger sheet, may take more manipulation to get it straight and taught but I still don't think it should take all day.  Providing it isn't too windy on the day! :blink:

So, mid-morning start, finished in time for lunch!

Reminds me of a time-lapse movie of someone getting his mates round to fit the engine in his kit car.  10am - 11am people arrive in dribs and drabs, mill around, discuss things, move engine-cranes about ... then the garage is deserted from 12 - 2pm ... and then at 2pm they all return and within 5 minutes the engine is in!

The answer to the question will be........

as long as it does, or, until it's finished   and depends on how many cups of tea, or beers, are drunk during the process
