Title: Diy polytunnel
Post by: ricky on September 17, 2019, 20:22

Hi folks I got a link from here a couple of years ago about building a polytunnel with 50mm water pipes I built one a while back using these plans and its pretty good, a pal wants the plans just like the ones you see on YouTube ,the plans on this site were way better many thanks.

Sorry, but It looks as if we show the link to plans on a now closed site - overthegardengate :(

Have you seen this site PAULS ALLOTMENT DIARY: Build Your Own Poly Tunnel (http://paulsallotmentblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/build-your-own-polly-tunnel.html)
It may be helpful? Other than that it's the youtube ones, which you say you've already seen.

If it helps I used 25m 63mm OD MDPE pipe over 6ft scaffold poles planted into the ground half way, made some door frames and used some wood to join each arch together for stability, size was 4m X 2.7m, there were 4 arches

Do you have any pictures you can share as this is what my hubby wants me to have as opposed to me buying a new 1 from First tunnels!
