Laraine I went for the Thermal Anti-fog cover, mainly for retaining heat. I know it filters out almost all the useable UV, but I felt the heat was more important as they will get UV outside.

hi Pete i see you have a link for firsttunnels ,by coincidence i have a link to google its the second link for first tunnels and it shows brackets so you can mount on a custom frame yourself just like you would do with a solid framed greenhouse.

Helen you can have my DIY hubby, he's very capable unless it's something I want!!! I've learnt to be rather capable by myself, easier than asking

I'm looking forward to seeing it too! I think Peter could have a little career on the side, erecting Polytunnels!

You could earn a fortune Peter.

LOL, thats if I can put my own one up. If I ever get the stupid tree stump out I might stand a chance of even attempting it.

My shed looks like a garden centre, I think I bought the plants for the tunnel too soon
