Straps and during high winds make sure it’s closed up. So the wind can’t get in and lift it.

[@scottishnotirish]

You need to put straps across to top at the posts to stop high winds from blowing up plastic...My daughter had a high tunnel...she didn't have the straps, during a thunderstorm the plastic was destroyed..it blew up like a balloon then exploded....had to get chicken wire to cover the roll-up open areas to keep out the critters

You can place a tennis ball in the corner of plastic and tie a rope around it in all four corners.Through ropes over greenhouse pull to place the plastic. If windy you can add tennis ball and ropes to middle, so that would be three people each side pulling. We would use a long pieces of pvc pipe with a towel taped on the end as a push poll to work plastic over metal pipe on the top of green house! I hope this might help; enjoy your greenhouse

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Absolutely Awesome! Loved seeing the family working together to build this structure. I look forward to hearing how the growing process works out in it over the winter.

[@rebeccasanford8607]

Good job! I know you are excited to have the Tunnel up

[@HeartwayFarms]

Yes for sure ;)

[@philsmithmeyer1946]

AWESOME JOB!!!

[@garagestory]

Great job!

[@dhansonranch]

Very nice! I sure enjoy the bluegrass music as well...don't hear it on the radio often up here. I will have to pull my limited collection out again. I am surprised at how opaque the wall plastic is.

[@joannak4640]

I'm so happy for you. Looking forward to watching you grow in that HUGE high tunnel. Do you watch Living Traditions homestead? I like the way they are utilizing their tunnel. Weed fabric covering the while I side of the tunnel and growing in either raised beds or they now use the discarded feed tubs from cattle. Just thought ❤️ Joanna ( new subscriber) Corpus Christi TX

I used to install Four Seasons Sunrooms, lots tall ladder work.

Shout out from the Quad Cities. How cold did your high tunnel get this winter?

[@ElderandOakFarm]

For the roll up sides, when you have them rolled down, is there something that will keep them down on the wind?

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I'm hoping to get a high tunnel jext year, are you still happy with this one?

[@trethehunter]

Any new videos of you growing in it?

[@canadiangirl5159]

Do you get hail? I'm in Alberta and my concerns are that our prairie winds and the occasional hail storms might make swiss cheese out of that plastic.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Yes that is a concern... It does not hail often however, that may be a problem!

[@crysg_1315]

Where'd yall purchase your tunnel from? Thanks!

[@lizarce272]

OMG! Standing on the top of ladder IS NOT SAFE!
