My plot is pretty windy too. I used the net from around one of those garden trampolines. It's worked all winter

Does anyone have good advice on how you can support wind break netting. I have been given 30ft of netting and wantto use it down one side of my plot, but I'm unsure how to do this without it falling down.

You can buy packs of metal fence pins to hold it up -  lots of suppliers if you Google  ;)

Put really strong stakes into the ground next to your poly tunnel frame and lash  together,worked for us 3years and poly hasn't moved.

Sorry to ask the question, but if you have to do this to keep hold of your polytunnel, is there not something wrong in its suitability for the environment in which it's sited?

Does it say in its literature that you have to make further purchases just to keep hold of it?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
