Yep, it’s a £45 job, discussed a page or two back. I don’t have high hopes for it but it’s an experiment to see if I get away with it and set precedent for a greenhouse in future. Only really allowed one structure so will see if I get away with it. The frame is as cheap as these things usually are so hopefully taping the joins will help. I’ve also bought 20x 18” long rebar u-staples to hold it down properly.
I’ve not unwrapped the cover yet so will see what that looks like tomorrow. It’s the woven plastic, not just clear sheet but I find it’s the stitches that go, not the material itself.
Have got a few rolls of gauze bandage to wrap the whole frame in so it rubs less on the cover.
I know it’s quite shit but it’s in a very sheltered spot and I’ll do what I can to get it as tight as possible. It has guy lines which I can tie to the arches behind.
