Our new polytunnel is now structurally complete! During a special session on Tuesday 1st November (thanks to all those people who turned up to help at such short notice - the weather was perfect and we just had to go for it) a team of volunteers got the polythene "skin" onto the frame, finishing by the light of mobile phones as darkness fell. The tunnel measures 16 by 60 feet, so that was quite a big piece of plastic to get on, so a great effort by all concerned.
 |
| Fixing the polythene skin to the timber base rail - Bob, Deb and Sonja. |
 |
| Nailing on batons - Ann and Jaimie. |
 |
| Jim getting to grips with the cornering. |
 |
| Pleating the tunnel ends in the dusk - Bob, Kent and Jim. |
Now all that remains to do is finish weeding the inside (we're almost there), prepare the beds and path, install irrigation, and transplant seedlings from the old tunnel into the new beds!
