How To Build a Polytunnel - Start to Finish! 

Grow updates, build updates, animal updates, vlogs, tours of Mossy Bottom at different times of year, just you and moss playing. honestly we will take anything and everything you can give us.

So glad you were given the poly tunnel. I’m sure you recommending their polly tunnel will be good advertising for the company and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of it than you. Thanks for yet another great video. Love from Wiltshire England.

Beautiful job!!! That Mossy!! He tickles me when he’s trying to get you to stop working and throw the stick.

Moss is so adorable helping with the excavation for each base plate, grabbing those pesky roots and getting them out of your way...so you can use them as play sticks instead-brilliant!😆

It looks great! I laugh when Moss wants you to play with the stick all the time!

What a beautiful movie, so enteratteinig. I watched it till the end .. hopping to dig my little holes soon ;) I live in Italy on a mountain, quite hot in summer and freezing in winter... tomorrow we will get 13 degrees below 0.

It took so much work, i would never have imagined! Great job! Moss trying to play fetch was adorable :)

Bless Moss he so patient, he keeps bringing you sticks to throw

I hate polytunnles and all plastic things but carried watching for Mossy😊 how cute with his stick😍

I love Moss bringing the stick at 20:06. like "here, I'm helping build"

A great build and addition to the property. You’re living your dream.

Great video, but, oh boy, poor Moss. I hope you threw the stick for him. He was working so hard as a supervisor.

You've done such a great job of detailing this, thank you. Love all your videos.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, got my husband to make your rabbit 'tractor' and the bunnies are fantastic lawnmowers ☺️ Can't wait to get sowing this year and get full use of my Polytunnel. It's survived the winds down here in West Cork so far🤞

Been looking everyday to see if I had a Mossy Bottom notification, so happy to see this video this evening 😁 Going to watch it now and show my Husband tomorrow as we would love a polytunnel and have been saving a little when we can. First Tunnels is our first choice when we do buy one as we have heard nothing but good things about them. We need a good one as we live 1000ft up on the top of a Welsh 'mountain' 😉 Thanks for posting 👍😊

Odd how so many UK residents are suddenly into poly tunnels. Source Heirloom seeds while you still can & share them with like minded folk.

Fantastic! Another huge milestone. Shame to hear about the way your greenhouse got blown away, though.

The polytunnel is looking fab,job well done...

Wow, great job. A project for sure.

My cottage is down a tiny, winding lane and I am constantly having conversations with delivery people. Most are amazingly helpful and are happy to wait while I walk up the lane. We've bought an industrial sack truck. We like you can also drive up. Curry's refuse to deliver anything so we always use small companies who are happy to negotiate and often have way smaller vans.

This was brilliant - maith an fear! You have endless talents and so generous in sharing with everyone. Wishing you every success in your endeavors. I think you're starting to get a bit of a Sligo accent!

Your way of talking is so calming. I always love to watch your videos. Many greetings from Germany!

Wonderful video. So well explained. And the joy of watching sweet Moss trying to get you to play with him endlessly!

The Old World demands trigonometry! Ah, there's the use for it, after all ;D

I absolutely love your channel and you've inspired me to re-start my own, so thank you. I especially love the video about being an extrovert, finally I have a better understanding of my children who have struggled to explain it to me, I can't thank you enough

You have definitely advanced to the next level. Did you need termite-treated wood for the door frames? Are termites a problem there? And, I must say, you attract some very capable-looking volunteers.

Polytunnel looks awesome. Thank you for documenting the whole process, it is not an easy job. Your voice is very soothing and your lifestyle seems very peaceful. Thank you for posting these inspirational videos. Ireland is so beautiful. We hope we can escape the rat race too and live similar life to yours in near future.

An excellent construction job Daniel, enjoy the crops it produces.

The most awaited video 🙏

I really , REALLY enjoyed this. I am planning a small "greenhouse" in my garden this year, and was a little sceptical that doing a "poly-house" , wouldn't end up being , optically, a disappointment...Nur now I see how bear and Clean it looks... and the advice to put down a weed-barrier will be well taken. thankyou so much. .

We have a First Tunnels polytunnel 10 feet X 20 feet and LOVE it! Highly recommended them for quality, delivery and support. Yours is fabulous! We also used anchor plates and the trench method. Lots of work but so worth it in the long term. We have the ground sheet but we put ours down after construction and if we ever put another tunnel up we'll definitely do it the other way round! Roo 🌱 😊 x

OMG he uploaded!

What a fantastic job. So well done. Plus, a superbly filmed, edited and narrated video. Thank you.

Great Advertisement.

Everything is done just perfectly, if a job is worth doing it’s worth doing right..I love your enthusiasm..a great interesting video. Good luck to you.

This is so interesting.

"Sagginess is your enemy" - don't I know it ...😂😂 Thanks for another great video!

Very interesting video, thank you. Am looking forward to seeing what you grow this year. Will be great when we can get back into our gardens again.

You made hard work of putting on the polythen. I put up a First Tunnel 8 years ago on a sloping site in an exosed site in windy Wales, I had no choice. Still the same polythen.

We noticed you posted this video whilst we were outside trying to construct our polytunnel with a lot of faffing about. Perfect timing as you have the same size tunnel we have too so took out some of the guess work , thank you!

Happy for you , great company ! 🌿🪴🥕🥬🍅🍆🍊🍇🍓 # first tunnels

Lovely! Thanks, very informative. We know you're busy, but more videos please! :)

Well done! You did a great job👍 Your dog Moss is a sweetheart. Lovely to see him joining in. Wishing you a plentiful growing season this year💓

We absolutely LOVE watching your videos. Here in Salem Oregon our weather is very similar. Our 9 acre farm is coming along slowly but surely! Thanks for the helpful information

You're probably already hard at work on your next 3 videos as well as all the springtime tasks, but I have a wish: could you do one about the care and maintenance of your food forest trees? I just bought a peach tree, and I'm trying to learn more about planting and pruning properly. There are lots of videos about these topics, yet not all are as detailed and clear as your educational videos. I really enjoy how you share information!

Thanks for this - we're about to put up our community polytunnel, and you're video has made the task slightly less daunting :)

Nice!!! Can't wait to see your season this year from Germination to Harvesting!

Mossy dog is sooo cute...just wants to play with sticks the whole way through 🐶🐾🐕😃😂❤️🤗

Great video as always. So informative. It must have been super satisfying to build this Polytunnel and then put it to use. Bravo on a job well done!

Mossy is a great help! Thanks for all the info and experience. Hello from Alberta Canada 😉✌🌲🔥🐾🇨🇦

Great video. Glad to see moss is keeping you right 👍

Very nice. Happy growing!

Hi, i always look forward to watching your videos, this one didn’t disappoint. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next one. 😊

Nots.ie is running a horticultural course dedicated to growing in the polytunnel for self sufficiency or for budding market gardeners starting now and only €50

Wow excellent work, thank you Daniel for sharing. Looking forward to the growing and harvesting videos 👍

Love this video, brilliant work! Well done. Have u thought of a Hot Composting Bin for inside the tunnel? It creates warmth/heat & u can set seedlings off on top of the composting bin. 🤓💗🙏🌱

I'm over in Leitrim very high up above Lough Allen, my tunnel has been up since 2009, I got the polly tunnel repair tape from first tunnels, every time you see wear especially where the bars touch the plastic I tapped it my tunnel is still up. I have two I lost my big one to the wind a couple of years back, mainly because the roof was too high for me to conveniently tape up over the years without going to get the ladder, I'm hoping to put that one back up this year, this was so informative, really helped me put the job into perspective 🌱🌹

Side the front and back with wood really helps and Allows you to add a wood stove but mostly for strength and wind peace

Really Interesting and entertaining video as always. Very much enjoyed the whole process. Thank you!

Polytunnel looks fab! Looking forward to the poly series. Hope videos start soon. 😁🤞

That is so impressive. Your work ethic is awe-inspiring.

Great video! We are in the process of moving to the west coast of Ireland. Your videos are one of our favourites! Will definitely be getting one of those polytunnels. Looks great 👍

Adorable Mossy!

We love Moss! I watched this with my mother, and she could not stop chuckling at his antics!

i enjoyed the playfull dog who wants to play fetch.

Great video Daniel and moss I'm second year into growing my own organic food and in process of saving for polytunnel so great tips for building my own...happy growing 2021.

You don’t realise how smart and talented you are! Well done on all your success! Wonderful to watch 😉

I can't even imagine having property where you don't need a pickaxe to dig. Missouri Ozark soil sparks when you hit it with a pickaxe, and bends shovels.

I was building mine also from First Tunnels at the same time. I love my polytunnel.

Poor moss is handing u a different stick every few minutes hoping you'd play with her😭

Great job and the detail is really helpful as we will be building one on the Big Island Hawaii and yes we have wind as well. BTW, your fur baby is a delight! Just wants to play...I wish you yummy and wonderful veggies and bounty for many years.

So cool I'm literally putting up my own polytunnel 12ft by 25ft from firsttunnels...

Must be fairly cold in the caravan this time of year? fair play to you! Thanks for this. I am hoping to get a tunnel like this!

What an achievement. Great story, well told.

Lots of excellent polytunnel manufacturers in Ireland. Support local in hard times

Nice man .

The same happened to us.. €500 went flying after less than a season. Luckily we had another bigger glass one to help save some of the plants

Grow conifers in tubs for a wind break you can move around

Do you select for beautiful young female volunteers or does it come with the job?

The easiest way to draw 90 degree angle on ground is to draw a triangle with sides 3parts:4parts:5parts, which always has 90 degrees angle in it, no matter what size the part is. Credits to Pythagoras for that :)

Very nice! Turned out beautiful! I do worry a bit about the wooden door frames directly into soil with regards to longevity. But lovely project, really.

Great post❣️I wish I had the room in my garden. I’m sharing this with the person I sent your calendar to. Perfect thing for him to consider. Unfortunately the calendar has not arrived. Do you have any idea what might have happened? I see in the news that Royal Mail is struggling after Brexit. Could that be it?

Oh how I wish I’d have seen your video before putting my cheap poly up! It would’ve saved me many hours of remedial work. This will be my second season of growing too so I’ll be looking forward to some ‘grow along videos’

we live on the side of a hill so I'm not sure how I can level the ground. great video. Love the female helpers :)

Great job 👏

Awesome video dude, thanks for sharing the build, I feel a bit for confident about getting one ☘️😉👍

bet your glad of those brace rails today

Um there is no way I could build a poly tunnel , omg were you aching after ? My back would go and i would hit my thumb with that massive hammer . Great work from the girls awesome .

Like the Shooting Stars at the beginning of Video. Well done with Pollytunnel

You did a perfect job, I’ve got a FIRST polytunnel that i put up with volunteers too. Pleating the ends downwards would prevent water pooling at the door frame. A tip for five years time!!! Xxx Kate

I’ve always been curious about how these work. I have trouble with wind when it comes to greenhouses 😕

I built a polytunnel from First last year and was really impressed by their instructions - especially the video clips. And it's proved to be really good quality but oh my goodness, stretching that cover is a workout in itself! Well done - yours is huuuuuuge!

FINALLY!!!!A NEW VIDEO!!!I have been missing you so much!cheers from Hungary

Great video! Looks great! We also have dogs who think they are supervisors too lol. Anyways, new here cool video

Great video. I've been waiting to see this one for a while now. And it's been very helpful, have learned a few things from you. Considering a polytunnel build myself. Just wanted to know where you sourced the steam-treated soil you used for your raised beds? By the way, have been following you from the beginning of your channel, we have in fact done the same as yourself, (moved from the UK to Ireland to a cottage and live a more simple permaculture lifestyle} a year before yourself. And you can imagine our surprise when we found out you are literally live a ten-minute drive from us! Your journey has reflected our experience so much, and it's an inspiration to us. Good to know we are not the only enthusiastic blow-ins around here. So hello neighbour!

Daniel. Great video as to be expected from all your previous ones. Im at the present choosing my polytunnel and this is one of the companies that is on my short list. Im hoping to get one of a similar size 24x 42 or possibly48’. But mine will be on a slope which i have been told is ok as long as the slope runs down the length. Ill need some help when i do finally get to erect it, but wait to grow my first crop.

You could've used rocks instead of concrete.

You're a hard working man, that last pan around the garden was beautiful. I also like how the poly at the doors looks like rays of sun shining from it. Look forward to seeing this seasons produce from it.

Sorry, I meant also to add you might want to look at what Bruce Darrel is doing on the RED Gardens channel. He lives in Cloughjordan, Ireland so would have a similar growing environment to your own.

Great video again, lovely tunnel. Only thing surprising was the no bloopers at the end, as per usual ;-)
