I havn't made my own polytunnel but have made my own pallet greenhouse. The overall costs were about £50 for screws, joining metal bits (dont know the actual terminology) , anchors and uv treated plastic. Its great to have somewhere to grow undercover on the plot!https://roosorganicallotment.wordpress.com/

yes,very much thow together with what we had got,pics 2,3,4,are of how it started life down the lottie,cost time effort and paint,the 1st pic is now at home and altered,by extending the with between the wood frame and the height using some plastic pipe,the only cost to us was a few longer screws,the cover was a secondhand gift from a friend,all materials used had been previously scrounged by my MR,i know it's not posh,but it works for me,
just to add was a 12 x 8 ft,now 18 x 10 ftLast edited by lottie dolly; 21-05-2016, 01:03 PM.sigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these
