Mine goes north to south and it still gets ridiculously hot and sweaty in there. I lose a stone just walking in (I wish)!

Maybe I didn't explain very well.......should I get one it would go down the middle of 2 x 4ft beds leaving 2ft on the outside of the tunnel each side. I was wondering if the tunnel would cast a shadow on the outside beds rendering them useless..sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Noooooooooo.....let me try again..............the tunnel would be at the most northerly end of the bed running north-south........the sun obviously comes east-west so am I right in thinking that part of the day one side of the tunnel will cast a shade & the second part of the day it will cast on the opposite side.........now I'm confusing me.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

It should go through the plastic I'd have thought. I see where you're going. It's not necessarily direct sun that plants need so much though as warmthLook deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein

The eastern side will get sun in the morning and the western side after lunch and neither side will be in complete shade. Positioning sound rather good to me.
As to the frame, there is an awful lot of plastic (sail) between the 19mm uprights I would be tempted to add further bracing myself.

Ok, this should give an idea of what I have in mind. Pick any of 2 of the 3 beds in the photo & the tunnel would span 2 ft each side ot the beds with the path down the middle.....
