EP 42: How First Tunnels Built Our New Polytunnel! Allotment Plot no.9
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Nanou, Grinch and Fluffy are so excited to finally have a polytunnel installed on Plot no.9! They were introduced by Danny from The Grapevine Garden to a great company called First Tunnels. They bought an amazing polytunnel from them and First Tunnels built the polytunnel on Plot no.9. This is a far safer option for Grinch and Nanou on such an exposed and windy site! The polytunnel turned out even better than what they were hoping for! It is such an exciting time for Plot no.9! Thank you very much for watching.

Thank you so much Danny! Without you it would never have happened! We would never have tried a polytunnel and you were right, First Tunnels are just fantastic! We are so happy and lucky to have you as a friend! Lots of love 😘💕🌸
Grinch is good. Those guys are Professionals. Me, I couldn't build a sandcastle on a beach! Well done. Now you can grow those melons you wanted.🎉
@@chriseverest4380 I am so looking forward to try growing those melons next year! Grinch is wonderful, I am so grateful to him to have been there every step of the way in clearing and developing plot no.9 with me. 😘💕🌸
They did an amazing job! Still took 2 men who knew what they were doing. Shows the professional build.
So pleased for you. Well done!
They were amazing! I am so grateful to Danny to have convinced me to go for it! We love the polytunnel! It is perfect for our exposed, windy site! 😘💕🌸
@@plotno.9 it is lovely!
Oh wow Nanou! How exciting for you, Grinch and Fluffy 😄🎉👏 It looks absolutely fantastic 😀 so happy for you 😊 xXx
Thank you so much Gemma! I am over the moon with the polytunnel! I just cannot believe how strong it is! It has been so windy here, but nothing is moving, apart from that autumn crown on the shed door!!! 😂🤣😄👍🌸💕
Congrats on your polytunnel Nanou, Grinch and Fluffy! ❤
We are so happy with it! Fluffy is coming on Saturday to see it! He is going to love it!!! 😄👍💕🌸
Thats a cool little pollytunnel 👍
Thank you so much! We really do love it! 😄👍🌸💕
Wahoo! A lovely little poly tunnel! Bring it on!!!
It is just perfect for us!!! 😄👍🌸💕
WooHoo! You both have to be very excited. Let Grinch know he did a fabulous job filming and explaining.
Hope you both have an excellent week.
I have read your message to Grinch and it put a big smile on his face! Having the polytunnel has given us so many ideas for the plot! Our list of things to do has got even longer! 😂🤣😘🌸💕
i built a frame myself several years ago using First Tunnels to supply the covering. Still going strong .You will love it 😀
That’s good to know! The plastic cover does look very strong. It is amazing how much they were able to stretch it! The quality of it is just amazing! We are so happy with it! 😄👍🌸💕
I’m so happy to see how excited you are with your new tunnel. It really is fabulous! I love it….very jealous.! 😁💪🏼💚
Thank you so much Will! We are over the moon with it! I know how lucky we are to have been able to get one. I am so glad we went for it. Your polytunnel is a marvellous space and you were so much braver than us as you built it all on your own! You can be proud of it! I still cannot believe how much you grew in it this summer! 😄👍💕🌸
Fantastic news for you Nanou i’m so happy for you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Stella! I still cannot believe it is really ours!!! 😘💕🌸❤️
It looks fab, they did a great job!
Thank you so much! We love it! Tim, Will and Dec were just brilliant! They worked so hard and they were lovely. We are so grateful to them! 😄👍🌸💕
Its looks wonderful, I’m so pleased for you all. I’m sure you’ll have many enjoyable hours in there 💕
Thank you so much! It is a lovely place to be, we always spend far more time there than we plan! Every time! That is definitely a good sign! 😄👍😘💕🌸
So happy for you Nanou and Grinch ! Lovely little tunnel .First tunnels would be my first choice if I ever go for a polytunnel ,seem like a great company .
Thank you so much! I cannot praise them enough! And the tunnel is just wonderful! It is standing strong against all the rain and wind we had yesterday! 😄👍🌸💕
Hi,First Tunnels are amazing. They built mine too 10ft x 10ft 2 years ago and our site is very windy and its still standing, I absolutely love it. So pleased for you both as you will see how strong they are over time. Right decision to get the experts to built it as we did too. Enjoy 😊
So great to know we are not the only ones that chose to have the polytunnel built by the experts! We knew we would never have got it right like they did. It gives us peace of mind to know it has been built right! Thank you so much for letting me know that yours is still standing strong 2 years later, especially in a windy location like ours. I really appreciate it! Thank you so much 😄👍🌸💕
Yayyy indeed! I’m so very happy that you’ll have a nice dry place to retreat to in winter on the allotment! Peace-
We still cannot believe it is ours! Just wonderful!!! 😄👍💕🌸
So pleased for you with the new polytunnel. I have been looking at First Tunnels for a few weeks and thought a small one might not be for me but watching this I think it might. Enjoy 😊
Don’t hesitate! They are such a great company and their polytunnels are just amazing! We love our small one! It is just perfect! It might be small but it still has so many possibilities!!! My mind is racing!!! 😄👍🌸💕
Great stuff folks! 😊
Glad you filmed the installation, it has given me a few pointers on how best to fit the polythene to my frame 😀
Thank you so much! I really wanted to film the installation as a guide for someone else who is braver than us and would do it themselves!!! Someone like you! I am so glad it has given you some pointers! I cannot wait to see your polytunnel completed! 😄👍🌸💕
YAY!!!!! I'm beyond excited for you all. Next year is going to be even better at plot 9 (who would have thought that would be possible? Danny @TheGrapevineGarden you're a champ! and a great friend to Nanou, Grinch and Fluffy
Thank you so much! Danny is such a wonderful person and friend! We are so lucky to have his help and support. It would never have happened without him. 😘💕🌸
Welcome to Poly tunnel life. Personally so would have absolutely dug the plastic in under a trench of soil to secure it further. But you do you and that is fine xxx
I agree, I probably would have preferred digging it in but Grinch was adamant that what he has done is fine!!! I do let him make some decisions!! 😂🤣 Let’s just hope I won’t regret that one!! 🤞🤞. We have had a lot of winds and rain yesterday and today and it is still standing! I keep popping into the allotment to check it is still there! I cannot help it! 😄💕🌸
Oh yeahhh how thrilling. I have subbed to Clare’s UA-cam too thank you Nanou. Can you add narrow beds along the outside edges? Oh I’m so excited for you both ❤. Have a fab week, happy gardening 👩🌾, Ali 🌧️🌧️🇨🇦
That is a good idea! We will have a go after we have source more old scaffolding boards. They are so good to make raised beds with! We are so thrilled with our polytunnel! I am so glad Danny got us to go for one! It is just perfect for us! 😄👍🌸💕
Lovely looking little Polly tunnel
It is so cute and absolutely perfect for us! Thank you so much 😄💕🌸
The three boys did an excellent job putting up your poly tunnel. I am sure you will enjoy using it over the next few years.
They were amazing! They work solidly the whole time they were on the allotment! The polytunnel is a dream come true with the shed too! I just cannot believe it! When I wake up, the first thing I think of is the allotment! I am like a kid!!! 😄😘💕🌸
I’m so happy for you all 💚
That polytunnel is just wonderful! Such an amazing space and it is standing strong through all the storms! Best buy for the plot! 😘💕🌸
@@plotno.9 they are a game changer, especially on wet and windy days, which in Ireland can be most days!
It is just beautiful!
Thank you so much! We just love it😄👍🌸💕
Wow… it’s amazing! You’re right it’s cute! The fact you’re only allowed an 8x6ft will make it even stronger too.
I felt emotional about just how excited you are over it.
Nearly choked when Grinch said he had “the greenhouse effect” over the previous build.
Thank you so much for the mention. That was such a surprise. You even spelt my name correctly, which is such a rarity 😊
Can’t believe it only took them three hours. That’s blown my mind. 🤣
Happy Growing 🥦🥒🥕🍅
I cannot believe it only took them 3 hours! They were great, they worked so hard. I have to say, I still cannot believe you built yours on your own with your husband!!! And it looks as good as ours! You can be very proud! I love everything you are doing in your polytunnel! 😄👍💕🌸
@@plotno.9 They are amazing spaces aren’t they? You’re going to love yours even more (is that even possible) when you start to grow in it. I cannot wait to see mine full of summer crops next year.
I do feel proud that we put it together but we do live and work on our farm. We have the time to be able to take on these projects. For anyone working full time, I can fully understand it would be daunting, as it could take a few weekends to get sorted.. especially if the weather doesn’t play ball on days off.
Definitely took us significantly longer than 3 hours though. That’s amazing. 🤣🤣🤣
Hello from Germany. I just discovered your channel yesterday by chance and have already watched half of your videos.
You can feel your enthusiasm for the garden in every video. I particularly like your natural, unaffected style. I immediately subscribed to your channel.
What I would now like to know is: Do you live in Great Britain, or am I completely wrong?
In any case, I wish you continued happiness and wonderful hours in your garden. ❤
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and a very warm welcome to our channel! We live in the UK, in the South East. Grinch my husband is British and I am French. We do love spending time together in our allotment. It is nearly a year that we took it on and we have loved every minute of it! It is such a wonderful place to be ! 😘💕🌸
@@plotno.9 I also have an allotment garden, a "Schrebergarten", as they say here in Germany. I've had it for exactly two and a half years now. I retired two months later, so it was the perfect time. But I also had to wait for three years, until I was able to get a garden. All of our gardens here are 300m² in size. The garden houses are all the same size and are solidly bricked. I had to invest a tremendous amount of time and money, but I haven't regretted a second.
I have watch a few videos on UA-cam about the German Shrebergarten. They are just so beautiful! Everybody just treasure them. Gardens definitely take a lot of time and money but they are so worth it. Grinch and I made the decision not to go on holiday anywhere this year, we chose to save the money for the new polytunnel and we are delighted with our decision! I am sure you must have a wonderful garden. Our gardens are our own private retreat and haven! 😘💕🌸
So so happy for you.
Thank you so much! 😄👍💕🌸
Congratulations! Now your plot has Everything! 😃👍💪 And tunnel looks sturdy as well 💪 What are you planning to grow there ?? During cold months 🙂
Thank you so much! I am planning to plant broad beans, rainbow kale, garlic, turnips and lettuces. I will use fleece when it gets very cold. 😄👍🌸💕
Great success guys! So glad you have a polytunnel in time for winter. Much love.
Thank you so much Linda! We are so happy with it! Definitely a dream come true! 😄👍😘💕🌸
So pleased for you, it's a brilliant addition to the allotment.
Thank you so much! It is amazing how much the allotment has changed in the last month! We love it! 😄👍💕🌸
Absolutely chuffed for you guys 🥳🥳 I remember when I first discovered your channel at the very start of spring and within a matter of weeks the greenhouse had broken my heart really went out to you. The staging is perfect and you can make anything work in a small space, you've got this!!! I CANNOT wait to see the jungle that develops in this little polytunnel next year!! 🤸♀🙌🍅🫑🌶💐😍
Thank you so much Laura! You will definitely be an inspiration for our small space. I am always in awe on how many plants you grow in your garden! We send you all our best wishes for a quick recovery. Lots of love 😘💕🌸
It looks so good .great video
Thank you so much! I keep popping into the allotment to check it is there for real and I didn’t dream it! 😂🤣🌸💕
