How to build a Polycrub (Polytunnel) - Construction - Vlog #1 

Thank you :)

Thanks :)

Thanks for your kind words :) Have fun building your greenhouse!

Thanks 🙏

Glad you liked it, and glad you found it helpful 😃

I don't regret buying it one bit - a worthwhile investment.

@@polycrubdiaries8969 love your blogs about it!

@@gawain8000 Thank you....got another blog coming soon :)

Thanks :) Yes it's off cuts of the shiplap. How you getting on with your build?

Hey, thanks for your comment :o) Yeah the sheets were a bit of a pain to fit. We used plastic 'car trim removal tools' and a spray bottle with dilute fairy liquid to help slide the panels into the 'H' section joining strips. Hopefully it will be easier on yours as it is smaller and the panels won't be as difficult to wrestle/push into position. It took 2 of us to do it both up separate ladders. One of us located the edge of the panel while the other pushed from the other edge of the panel to locate everything. We started at one side/end of the panel and worked up and over the top and down to the other side. Have fun building yours and I hope this video has been of help.

@@polycrubdiaries8969 Thank you for the tips !

is there any gaps when overlapping the sheets. can you explain how they are overlapped.

Thanks. I didn't have any building experience prior to constructing the polycrub, but I have plenty of DIY experience which helped. I think any building contractor could assemble the polycrub for you.

Just screws.

Hi, from memory its around 10mm thick.

Hi mine is 6m x 4m. I bought it from www.polycrub.co.uk - prices are on the website.

Thanks. I used this tool www.powertoolworld.co.uk/milwaukee-m12-fmt-0-12v-fuel-multi-tool-body-only-inc-18x-accessories - to cut the panels.

@@polycrubdiaries8969 Thanks, lot of great tips in your video, I am going to use your rope - window limiter, fantastic innovation !

Hi, yes this is a kit. See www.polycrub.co.uk. There are lots of different kits/options. This is the first winter with my polycrub. I'm currently growing plenty of veg at the moment and it's been a max of 6 degrees during the day and minus during the night - those temps are outside temps. Not sure what the temp was inside.

Put your own kit together. We're finishing ours right now and it cost about a third. Search all the construction companies near you that might have a 'yard'. Google street is a good help. Someone will have a roll of pipe just laying around. Ours is made from high density blue water pipe, 90mm. It's still on a google street photo, laying in a pile of junk. Cost us £40. Plastic around £750. Extra tough posts, abut £130. Other bits adding to 2 or 3 hundred £. Still a fraction of the price.

Hey, thanks for your comment. I can't remember the exact cost. But it did cost a lot for delivery.

Yes one sheet across. The heat escapes thru the doors and windows. No these are high quality poly carbonate sheets.

I bought it as a kit from www.polycrub.co.uk

Prices are on the Polycrub website.

A lot- I can’t remember exactly but it’s well worth it.

Hi I'm not sure as the temperates where I am have only got to -3 deg C. You could take a look at the polycrub website - www.polycrub.co.uk and send them a message.

Can’t measure just now. You need pipe that will fit over the wooden posts.

Ask lng po san po nakaka bili ng polytunnez

think they are 90mm used in the fishing industry, 100mm mdpe should also work.

@@fredrickelrik I think that's what we made ours with. Very stiff blue water pipe. Looks good.

Pipe recycled from the fishing industry.

Check out www.polycrub.co.uk - the specs should be on there.

Hi, probably best to check their website - www.polycrub.co.uk/ - thanks

bit late but 10mm twin wall poly 1050mm x7000mm from varico

Hi, the costs can be found on the polycrub website. As for the thickness I'd estimate 10mm.
