Trimming and battening, ensuring the plastic was finished off at the ends all needed completing, especially to make sure that the wind can't catch any loose bits.
Securing the pleats at both ends, to stop them rattling in the wind - Melv was on to it.
Next was the job of sorting the side ventilation, first the plastic needed to be finished off and then the green mesh battened down. Melv prepared the battens in the comfort of 25'C.
Then we set to securing the top and bottom, the green mesh far easier than the plastic, a lot more durable and will be excellent for ventilation on those really hot summer days.
336ft of battens and many, many nails later we were all finished and my didn't it look smart and very professional - we were really pleased at the outcome - really pleased.
An incredible amount of work, from taking delivery of the tunnel in kit form back on the 12th September to now a huge covered place, which will play a very significant part in our new venture.
Next we move inside - that is when the fun begins...
