runaway polytunnel
« on: January 21, 2010, 18:39 »
went down the garden today to find mw new polytunnel blown over in average winds :( i was going to drape some fishing netting over it an put bricks in the net to keep it down but i didnt do it in time... ??? its the type of polytunnel that is advertised on this site. it has green string running through it ti stop tearing. it doesnt go into the ground so it was weighed down with a few bricks how will i stop this from happening again

this was the one i bought http://www.warehouse24.co.uk/products_search.php?search_string=polytunnel  it was 4.5m by2m by2m :mellow:

Oh dear!

Ive got the same thing although i got mine from Ebay.

Ive been putting off erecting it on my allotment for the same reasons. Ive bought some sturdy tent pegs but im not sue they will be good enough.

Ive decided to make some wooden stakes that will go quite deep into the soil and tie the frame to them.

Would love to see some pics if you have them.

The pictures on the link you posted, show polytunnels that have a skirt that has to be dug into the ground to stop it being blown away.
