WOW, I haven't seen screws put in by hand for many years. Also wood sawn by hand!! I had to get the wife to show her how it was done in the old days, LOL. But seriously, this was a great vid, and thanks for sharing.

Nice work, It looks like you have the sun on the poly tunnel most of the day. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers Tony

[@retrorestore]

Yes, till the evening. Just a bit worried by a big tree above dropping branches.

[@loftyskies123]

Just subscribed and really enjoyed your video,s I used to work in a garden nursery with huge tunnels and greenhouse,s , never thought of doing one for myself mine would have to be smaller than yours though my garden is taken up by the rabbits . I had literally given up on the gardening stuff but youve just given me a kick up the ass to get out there and get doing stuff when the weather warms up though ,thanks its just what i needed some inspiration . love your dogs too

[@retrorestore]

Nice one bud. Glad to have you as a subscriber and hope you enjoy all the vids, there's plenty of them lol. Cheers Martin

[@mmangla5575]

[@retrorestore]

Cheers bud. Its still standing after nearly 5 years.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Great job Matrin !! I like it .. Should be able to grow some good eats in there !

[@retrorestore]

I hope so Shawn, it's all new to me.

[@baconsoda]

That's a good job. The half doors are a good idea. I use a piece of wire grill to keep cats out of my greenhouse but the best part is that birds can get out when they go in for a look around. I found 2 dead sparrows the first year I had my greenhouse so I left a way out from then on. Birds will eat seeds in trays but, later, they eat insects. Hope you had a lovely afternoon at the seaside.

[@retrorestore]

Cheers Brendan. I take it that I need to allow insects in to pollinate the crops so wire mesh will be a good idea. Skeggy was windy but warm. Fish and chips on the sea front with the grandchildren. Cheers

[@baconsoda]

retrorestore Yes, leave the doors open to let pollinators in. I also plant some Marigolds beside my tomatoes, keeps spider mite away.

[@retrorestore]

baconsoda Thanks for the tip Brendan. :)

[@slawpusz]

[@Edison1312]

Muy bueno el video, pero me hubiese gustado verlo en Español.

[@retrorestore]

Gracias por ver. Saludos Martín

[@samanthabuckley4169]

Great Job! Can I please ask what size wood you used for the base rail, door frames ect

[@retrorestore]

Door frames were 2"x2"

[@lanceflanagan]

I've never worked with plastic piping. How do you secure the wood to it?

[@retrorestore]

Self tapping screws bud.

[@verunushka]

Where did you buy that huge one peace plastic?

[@retrorestore]

Got it from ebay bud.

[@michaelroxby3937]

Where did you buy the steel rods the piping slide into?

[@retrorestore]

They are aluminium and I got them from an auction.

[@robw321]

What size sheet did you use and where did you purchase it from thanks

[@retrorestore]

From Ebay, it was nearly 8 years ago, I can't remember but they all have a chart for the exact size.

[@TheCraggym]

How did you fix the skirting to the pipes?

[@retrorestore]

Self tapping screws

[@georgecollins5706]

For your polytunnel what was the thickness of the plastic sheeting

[@retrorestore]

I can't remember George, It was the heavyest grade I found and it had an anti condensation coating on the inside. Cheers Martin

[@georgecollins5706]

Can you remember the name of it by anychance

[@retrorestore]

George Collins Here's the place I got it from. It was 720 gauge www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polytunnel-polythene-greenhouse-cover-Thermal-anti-drip-7-3m-9-2m-wide-/221666519088 Cheers Martin

[@jasonhughes726]

I know its been 6 years ! but hows that Polytunnel holding out ? as i am just about to build mine ! any help please

[@retrorestore]

Yes its still up. If you check out my latest vid, you can see me in it.

[@jasonhughes726]

thanks will do

[@Seaninirish]

Looks dangerous sawing the wood at 2:42 minutes. Right hand too near the saw blade. It's very important to keep hand well away from the cutting edge of the saw. I made this mistake putting a point on a piece of wood, and had an accident. Safety first!

[@retrorestore]

Common sense first and experience in my book.
