I have recently bought this small polytunnel for a sheltered spot in the garden and was wondering how to overcome the problem of ventilation in the summer. The little windows just won't be enough on very hot days and I have the added isue of a destructive magpie and a blind Labrador looking for toilet opportunities in compost!
Today I made this out of an old net curtain. Because I made it up as I went along, it did take a lot longer than I first thought. Yes it is a bit chintzy, but I am pleased with the result. So far, neither magpie nor dog has ventured in!



Stick on velcro for the sides



I sewed the velcro to the curtain.



bamboo cane along the top. ( I used iron on webbing to make the tab for the pole. )



velcro tieback



All works well and very easily, not bad for next to nothing.

If you grow crops that need pollinating you might need to let bees etc in some how though..........

You're right, I will have to give them a window of opportunity when I am in the garden doing other things, and can supervise.
