Put my polytunnel frame together. It’s definitely cheap but it’s all nut n bolt, not spring button to hold it together which is at least something. Taped all the joins prior to bolting so hopefully it’ll be a bit stiffer.
Was on my own today so just wanted to assemble it. Will trench it in a couple of inches tomorrow.

Is the one of the cheap ones? Be interesting to see how it lasts. Can buy some stakes either side and put cord around them.

Building a big poly tunnel is on my list for this winter. The local custom is to use rebar steel mesh and rebar with Hazel's for reinforcement and bury the plastic in a trench either side.

Cover nuked itself in the storm despite being guy roped and covered on all edges.
Doesn’t look like the cover itself has shredded, just all the tabs that attach it to the frame. All the zips had opened up so guess the wind just blew it straight open.
