How to Build a Polytunnel | Polytunnel Construction

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I was able to completely rebuild my father-in-law’s polytunnel this week using all these techniques and it looks fantastic. 😁👍

[@miloslavajiraskova7135]

Je to šikovně udělané video. Jen malá poznámka. Pokud dáváte spony na které napojujete tyčky, které pak šroubujete tak bych tu tyčku dala mezi dva konce spony a pak sešroubovala, ne pouze z jedné strany. Můj postřeh a zkušenost. Ať se vám daří a ať vám úroda roste.

Great build and so many washers saved under the nuts. Could shorter length bolts be used ? 2 threads to be in safety ?

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Some parts could use shorter length bolts. The reason we use the bolts seen in the video is so that we don't have a big variation in the parts required, eg, different bolts required for if you have base rails on their own compared with if you have base rails, side rails and vent screens also. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

[@stevelarson4925]

Great video. I have one question. I am going to be putting one up on a rental property and only plan on being there for 1 or 2 years. Pounding the posts in the ground makes me nervous because I don't know how easy it will be to pull them out of the ground when I move to a more permanent location. Do you have any insight on how to easily remove them, or know of a less permanent way of constructing the tunnel while still keeping its integrity? Thanks

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your enquiry and for your interest in our Premier Polytunnels. Providing that the foundation tubes are not concreted in position/in the ground (as is the case with the widest polytunnels available and as some customers on very exposed sites sometimes choose to do), you can simply dig the foundations back up out of the ground and take them with you when you move. When dismantling, moving and re-building polytunnels, some of our customer simply choose to remove the steel framework from ground level upwards and cut the foundations down to ground level, leaving them buried in the ground, and purchase new foundation tubes - however, if you can dig the foundations back out of the soil, this is the more cost effective option. :-) Another option, to avoid having any foundations in the ground, is to build the polytunnel on timber railway sleepers. When constructing a polytunnel onto a hard standing base, such as sleepers, foundation tubes are replaced with Base Plates which bolt/screw to the sleepers and the steel polytunnel hoops slot onto these plates. When using Base Plates, the polytunnel cover would normally be fitted to Timber Base Rails at ground level (or fitted directly onto the timber sleepers), rather than being buried in the ground. Base Plates can be seen on our website - www.premierpolytunnels.co.uk/shop/accessories/polytunnels-parts/base-plates/ Please do not hesitate to contact the Sales Team in the office on 01282 811250 if you have any further queries or questions. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

[@stevelarson4925]

Thanks for the insight, for some reason I was thinking it would be too hard to remove the foundation tubes but digging them up or saturating them with water should do the trick. Thanks again :)

If you make the door frame One quarter inch larger than the door you won't have closing issues , simply nail a length one half by three inch lumber to the inside of the header and at ch side to stop the door.. use glue on weather stripping and a inexpensive spring to close the door . Air tight without door binding with high humidiy.

Love the tunnel! Awesome video. I just don't understand why you dug a ditch though.

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Do you mean the trench for burying the polythene? The trenching method is the standard way (the “good old fashioned way”) of fitting the polythene cover.

[@DonnaRatliff1]

Why Polythene on ground? I don't understand. If it for weeds, Wood chips work.

How much the total costs? (fixed and variable costs). Could it possible to ship here in the Philippines or do you have an outlet distributor here? how long the assumption life span of this unit? how is the Return On Investment? is it profitable and feasible? Thanks. awesome video anyway.

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello. We are unable to ship to the Philippines. Customers can certainly arrange their own collection from our factory in the UK, for onward delivery to their destination. There is no reason why our polytunnel frames, which are all made from Z35 high tensile galvanised steel tube, would not last 20 years and more. The polytunnel cover will need replacing periodically, although the polythene we supply has been developed with resistance against sunlight. The additives in a polytunnel cover prevent UV degradation for up to 4-5 years and it is not uncommon for a cover to last 8-10 years in the UK climate. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

[@jeremypearce4314]

Could these be placed on hard standing? If so, what is the process for the bottom of the polythene? Thanks.

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your enquiry. Yes, our polytunnels can be constructed onto a hard standing base. Base Plates replace the foundation tubes at ground level - Base Plates bolt to the hard standing base and the polytunnel hoops simply slot into position. You can see Base Plates on our Foundations video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXChmmhrNacjsU For fitting the polythene cover at ground level, you would need to use either Timber Base Rails or Aluminium Base Rails. These rails clamp onto the polytunnel hoops at ground level and the polythene cover is secured to the base rails with either battens and nails or with PVC infills. You can see the base rails on our video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGm2iISqeJaAhLc Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

I wanted to build one but I was thinking netting. Can they breathe and grow in these plastic

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, You can certainly cover a polytunnel with a net cover, rather than polythene if you wish. Details of our net polytunnel covers can be found on our website: www.premierpolytunnels.co.uk/shop/accessories/netting/net-polytunnel-covers/ Most polytunnels here in the UK are covered with polythene which is specifically designed for growing under. Ventilation by way of net panels in the doors, opening the doors on hot days, or having side ventilation installed helps to keep the air moving through the crops inside. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

[@bazlujeelani1984]

The fixing of poly tunnel was really excellent ,what is the irrigation for , for what is the dummy door behing. please clarify the following area of the tent. and number of supporting frames required. . what is approximate cost.. Thanks . Wishing a better 21 and good wishes for Merry Christmas.. Please reply

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, This polytunnel is 8ft wide x 15ft long and consists of 4 hoops. Full details and prices can be found on our website: www.premierpolytunnels.co.uk/ The irrigation system allows gardeners to quickly and efficiently water their plants, without the need for individually watering plants with a watering can. The 'dummy door' is the sealed unit at the rear of the polytunnel - it looks just like a door, however it is a sealed unit. The timber door/end frame adds support to the large flat area at the end of the polytunnel and allows the polythene cover to be fixed on the end of the tunnel. The dummy door includes a net ventilation panel for air flow. Please do not hesitate to visit our website or contact the Sales Team in the office if you have any queries or questions. Kind regards, Premier Polytunnels

Thanks for good job and excellent demonstration. Though, at 8:38- 9:02 so on-, edge pressed corner stabiliser should be inserted within P-clips, not to be put side of p-clip, then tightly screwed, that would make more grid structure, I think..:)

[@PremierPolytunnels]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. :-) The P Clips are not suitable to have the pressed end steel tubes inserted into them as the clips will not then close tightly around the polytunnel hoops. Inserting the pressed end steel tubes works fine on Q Clips which some polytunnels use, but not for P Clips. :-)

Lot of work

[@PremierPolytunnels]

A polytunnel is not a difficult structure to construct, but the task at hand should not be taken lightly. We often say that constructing a polytunnel is a bit like putting together giant meccano and while many of our customers can build a standard garden tunnel over a weekend, there are many factors that determine how long it takes. Digging conditions, weather, the size and specification of the polytunnel, and DIY skills all factor into the time it takes. Building a garden tunnel really is a two person job.
