The two of us have always dreamt of being proud polytunnel owners, having cut our teeth on one 8ft x 12ft previously, we were now ready for a much larger challenge, with the new one at 30ft x 84ft!!
As you would expect it arrived in bits - but not sure we were expecting so many bits!!!
It took us most of the day to move it all in side - and it wasn't light!! Good job the barn is the size it is...
The next job was getting the footings in these had to be measured accurately - there was plenty of opportunity for error over an 84ft length - but Melv had it all in hand. With 15 each side a line was essential to keep us on the straight and narrow!
With the size of the structure and the resistance offered by the polythene, these needed to be concreted in - after all we didn't want to be collecting it from the bottom of Glastonbury Tor.
Once hard, with a bit of help from the digger and Matthew the holes were backfilled. We were all set our foundations were in place. But as we looked at the size of the hoops, we couldn't help but think that that was the easy bit.
