First time ive done a polytunnel from scratch....the frame was an old trampoline we got for free, the plastic sheet cost £40, various screws, timber and fixings from stock....Big thanx to my mate who came up in 20°+ sunshine to give me a hand....just got the door and window to fit tomorrow, then we will start putting plants in....
