I spent 1/2 the afternoon putting up the frame of a polytunnel I scored free
from a mate. Much simplier than a greenhouse but 2 pieces of advice I would
give:

1. before getting free polytunnel from mate check it for rot and make him
replace any rotten wood (lousy hua gave me a free poly tunnel with rotten
wood).

I'm impressed at your chutzpah. You are, I confidently assume, the CEO
of a particularly successful multinational chemical company. But as
such you will have access to unlimited quantities of polythene water
pipe for long-lasting framing. And replacement polythene skin: if the
wood's gone, what must the skin be like?

2. check where wife actually wants it/will let you put it. Try to avoid
"placing it too close to the clothes line" else you will have to spend
tomorrow sawing pieces off it to make it fit the space you are 'given'.

Go rotary: Argos and many others will be delighted to oblige. Do not
sink it into the ground: set the socket into a motor-tyre filled with
stones and concrete, so you can move it about.
