Default Polytunnels, finishing the ends

In article ,
says...
Just completing our new tunnel. Info with tunnel has only one sentence on
how to finish the ends. Now ether its very easy or not enough info!

Its 14ft wide and I am wondering if I need to put in pleats or just let it
gather as I tension it then trap it in the battens.

Any tips folks?


Thanks,

Dave


I pleat ours and use a domestic stapler to hold the pleats together while
I try and roll the cover onto battens.
