Greenhouses v. Polytunnels

In article , If you bury the cover around the edge rather than using the grip rails then they will withstand 120 mile winds no problem, the down side is having to recover them every 5-7 years and the covers need cleaning about twice a year. -- Yes I think that's still better than any of the fancy tensioning measures - do it on a warm still day and have equal numbers of folk either side of the tunnel pulling the sheet down and backfilling the trench - a bit of a knack but easy when you get it. I think somebody else said loose covers are the biggest danger - that's true, I've seen structures wrecked by the torn sheet flapping in the wind. |
