Many thanks.

It's a little way away but we are thinking about changing a couple of tunnels to a glasshouse. This probably will go ahead in a couple of years time so we will have the structure for sale then. It might even be almost free if you take them down yourselves.

Tunnel area will be probably be in the region of 1600 square metres, but more might be available.

Hi Rod, sounds like yours is a similar size to mine. I've got my sides currently buried but it's to be moved shortly and been thinking of attaching plastic to rails and meshing the bottom like yours when it's rebuilt.

 

Only think I'm concerned about though is, it's going to an exposed site and wondering how you anchor your hoops down? Obviously don't want the whole thing blowing away!

 

Mine has "feet" at the bottom of the hoops that you knock in the ground about 10" but doubt these will hold on their own.

 

we augered holes about 800 deep by 300 filled with concrete and set the stubs in as we went. The hoops fit over the stubs and are locked with a screw

Cheers for that Rod, it's definitely an option rather than buying a wider poly and burying it.
