That thing has guy ropes - wouldn't last long on an allotment site - might be ok as a back garden play tent.
I'd like to see a real picture of it.

Yep, it does look pretty cheap, we’ll see. I’ve got some rolls of crepe bandage to wrap round all the metalwork to reduce rubbing and I’ll dig it in as well. It was £50, not £500 so it’s a cheap buy to see if I can get away with it. If it works well in that position and the curtain twitchers don’t get uppity I’ll replace it with a real tunnel in a year or two.
It’s going to be tucked into the corner of our plot- large building on one side, compost bays behind and berry trellises in front. It’ll be as sheltered as it’s possible to be. Will dig the sides in and guy it to the berry frames. Should be ok. Prevailing wind is blocked by the building. Going where the blue pipe hoops are in this pic.

Ordered a cheap 3x2m tunnel as worked out cheaper than building another water pipe one.
Might get in trouble for it if they decide it’s a structure but will dig it in a little and have it at the back so a bit less prominent.
We were recently donated a waterbutt and we’ve got drippers and hose so this one will hopefully be easy to maintain.
