Tieing down a poly tunnel

Hi all,

I have a new 12ft by 7ft poly tunnel and i want to tie the frame down before i cover it.

What would be best to use for the job, bearing in mind cost?

Thanks for any advice?

I've just bought 50ft of guy rope. Should do the trick!

I want to put it in a very open spot on my allotment tho, could do with something to buffer the wind.....

On ours ,the cover holds the frame down which in turn is held down by the soil around the outside..dig a trench,pull the cover over and down into the trench and bend back up,back fill while pulling on the loose end which tightens it.
we live over 700 ft exposed to the prevailing winds and this does the trick.

Thanks for the advice.

I will put it up on the bank holiday friday, i'll take my camera too.

Wish me luck!
