Marking out the new polytunnel

The design of the new polytunnel is changing slightly every time we get together. Little iterations and changes make improvements in how it is being erected and it’s functionality based on our own experiences putting up the tunnel at Grow West Fife and visits to Eats Rosyth’s polycrub.

In the photo below, the green sections are beds, 3′, 4′, 4′ and 3′ with 2′ orange paths between them. The doors at each end will be the width of my outreached hands and the blue curve will be the shape of the plastic.

It is massive!

The total area including the paths is 90 sq meters, 15 x 6m (we interchange metric and imperial measurements) making it practically double the size of the polytunnel we erected at Grow West Fife, where close to quarter of a tonne of tomatoes were harvested this year.
