This is how i built my polytunnel from scratch.
Polytunnels are such useful things for growing in all seasons and I've been asked so many times if i have a specific video on the polytunnel build but i've been holding off until i know there aren't any problems with it! Building a polytunnel is really pretty easy, as you can see from this video. I definitely think anyone who fancies it, should have a go!
So i have put together clips from across the vlogs and from before, to put all the build stuff in one place! I hope it's useful.
Here are links to all the bits and bobs i used -
Self adhesive foam strip -
amzn.to/2LB8kYE
Self adhesive Velcro -
amzn.to/39fcLk2
The Polytunnel Repair Tape -
amzn.to/2XmOnau
The Polytunnel Plastic -
I got the SuperTherm plastic from www.firsttunnels.co.uk
And the Screw Plates I used -
Flat -
amzn.to/3q7bJNU
T-Shaped -
amzn.to/2Lyu3jN
L-Shaped -

Big L-Shaped -

I just watched this video. You and your mother are amazing! I got a bit choked up watching the two of you. I lost my daughter at the end of 2019. We were like you and your mother, we really enjoyed doing things like this together. I totally loved watching you two build this. Very clever ideas.

What a simple elegant design. I've got a few myself and a couple of suggestions that I'd make are: 1. Use proper heat tape available from tunnel manufacturers. The foam used will degrade quickly. 2. If you have batons left over then make frames that sit inside the window frame. Cover one with plastic for winter and with insect mesh for summer. To keep them in place make a few swivel locks (3cm wide X 6cm long with a hole at one end) to fit around the frame. If your velcro weathers well then stick with it. 3. Where the gutter meets the roof use some repair tape to bridge from one to the other. Gives 100% capture. 4. It may be an idea to fill the beds before putting the plastic on just for ease of access. 5. Where you stapled the plastic to the frame I would add batons. My staples rusted and broke. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing your next videos.

Them cheap poly tunnels are brilliant when they are new but just do not last! Wise move making your own. Use linseed oil as a natural safe wood preserver. and also joints on the metal frames stops the rust. Beehives and bird houses decades old using linseed and sometimes a mix with 5-30% beeswax. Even the raised bed is in its 12th year. No sign of rot yet. Hope this helps

Hi Jessie, I ended up on your channel whilst looking for a small polytunnel and I'm so glad I did. I watched you & your mum building yours with great interest. What a fabulous job you've both made of it. Brilliant! Well done. I have an area near to my shed in my back garden which will give me protection from any strong wind and also give me sunshine for 7 or 8 hours a day in summer. You've given me inspiration to have a go myself if I can get my wife to help me as your mum did. Thank you. Kind regards from a 73 year old.

Very helpful accessible video. For my zone 5b garden in Southern Ontario a polyhouse would need more structural support and solid anchoring especially for the roof due to our snow loads. Great tips for windows and doors and keeping things affordable. Happy winter gardening!

Absolutely brilliant job! You’ve inspired me no end! We have a generic polytunnel which is a nightmare..the door is hanging off..the zip has broken and is riddled with holes where the cover has rubbed. I’ll be showing my other half your video and I’m sure between us we can manage to cobble together something similar to yours. Thanks for sharing, Jessie. x

@MuddyBootz

A real good job and looks very neat. Only thing I would suggest to maybe prolong the poly life......screw lengths of roof batten on the outside onto the frame, this will clamp the poly more rather than relying on the screws and washers...It would stand up better to strong winds 😀 🌻Nigel.............MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻
@TheMrWoodsman
@TheMrWoodsman Год назад
Can I say well done! If you could add a triangle bit of wood into the frame it will be much stronger! Also well done for lining the beds as the treatment chemicals in the decking boards to stop the rotting are nasty and not something you want to grow food up against.

Hi Jesse, have just found you on You Tube and wish I had seen this before I bought my Polytunnel a few weeks ago. It is almost the same as the one you hade that lasted 3 years. At least I now have this video to look back on in a few years when my polytunnel gives up the ghost.... Thank you. I have now subscribed and will be following you avidly. Thanky you..

I will be giving this a go next year funds are limited this year

If you want to come to Spain and run a workshop, you are very welcome! We tend to need shade houses in the summer and a grow house in the winter but we have essentially an all year season, if we get it right... Sonja x

What an excellent focussed topic - a great #SaturdaySpecial. It must have been when you were adding the side windows that I first happened across your YT channel, episode 4 or 5 I guess. I jumped back to the start and have followed along with your allotment adventuring ever since. Cutting the plastic for the door and windows would have been stressful to me - not wanting to fudge it up at such a critical stage! I use a Ryobi battery powered stapler gun to line pallet planters that I make - and that is such a fun job! Pew, pew, pew!!

Love this video...... great little polyhouse, week done. I’ve just subscribed and just watched your December tour. The grey mould or Botrytis cineria can be controlled by breaking the humidity cycle, it may be too cold to vent your tunnel for long periods but breaking the humidity level for five minutes or so every 2-3hrs would be enough. This can be done with a 12v battery powered fan and a timer or run a mains powered plug in interval timer with transformer indoors then run low voltage cable out to you polytunnel making sure it’s all nice and safe. I’ve used this in a large commercial propagation dept, physically breaking disease cycle in this way plus using compost tea and other non chemical products allowed us to go from weekly fungicide sprays to hardly any. Hope this is of some help, best of luck.......
