Hello great instructions can I do this same method on a PVC hoophouse

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your enquiry. Yes, you can certainly hang a door frame and hinged door using the same method on a hoophouse made with PVC. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

@@PremierPolytunnels excellent thank you for the response!

Excellent video. But any thoughts on how to go about it Now i have all ready got the cover on the pollytunel Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PremierPolytunnels]

How is the cover currently fitted to the polytunnel if there is no door frame on the end? How do you get inside the tunnel?

Great videos!Thanks! is there a difference between the method used to attain level ground? i have a 32 ft slightly sloped plot with maybe an inch grade (waiting for level to measure). My thought was to add 1 inch of height to the lower end of the foundation. But i am seeing your method of a dropped floor more often than how i thought to go at it (if ground is unleveled). Can you tell me which is preferred and why? My rational was water drainage. better above ground than below. Ty!

Hello, Polytunnels can be built on a slope. Your construction site should be clear and reasonably level from side to side - 1in sloping ground would not be a concern for building a polytunnel. Approximately 6in out of level can be accounted for by adjusting the foundation tubes of your polytunnel. On the high side of the slope, drive the foundation tubes in a bit further than is normal and leave the foundation tubes on the low side of the slope protruding a bit further than normal. A slope from end to end does not have to be taken into account as your polytunnel can be built straight onto this slope with the framework placed at the vertical. To accommodate a larger slope, longer foundation tubes can be supplied - Please contact the Sales Team to advise if longer tubes are required. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

Cool I'm going to replace my zip door with this, do you advise netting on the door I'll only have a single entrance and vents, thanks

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, If you have vents on one or both sides of your polytunnel, you do not need to use netting in the top half of the door if you don't want to. :-)

I got lot of spares from your company and I'll follow these instruction for the door. ,What the width of the posts? Are they square? 75x75mm? and for the doors batten? 19mm or 25mm (double up)??? Thank you!

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your message. The door frames are 47mm x 75mm timber. The doors are 25mm x 50mm timber. The battens (for attaching the polythene and net) are 19mm x 38mm.

[@seanpereira83]

Thanks for this video! Very helpful! Where did you find a door like that? Is it custom or pre-fabricated? Appreciated!

[@djdnauk1977]

putting those posts straight into the soil seems like a bad idea, wont they rot out within a few years?

[@PremierPolytunnels]

The timber supplied is pressure treated with a wood preserver to protect against rot. It will need replacing over time, but does last for many years.
