I love that you describe how it takes some trial, error, thinking and rethinking and pondering to land on a solution. I've been doing the same with my own collapsible greenhouse. It blew off twice yesterday so I'm going to try and combine your solution with my own supplies and needs. Thank you. I often feel stuck in "analysis paralysis" and just need to get going on some type of plan. I may attach the bottom of the leg poles to a board on each side (front, back, left and right "walls" would each have a board under them) then stake each board into the ground. I'm not keen on screwing right thru the plastic cover though. I don't want to rip it.
Gardening is a never ending job. Fixing, replacing, securing etc. etc. however, it's a job I enjoyed doing. It won't be long now and your garden will show explosions of greens, colorful blooms and delicious fruits to snack on :-)
Great advice as I'm planning on buying a plastic greenhouse. I've subscribed and advise and demos on growing seeds would be welcome. Have a great day 😊
Oh, now I've watched this vid I realised my comments on the other one aren't really relevant. Sorry to be negative, but I wonder if you might find the access to the new polytunnel a bit cramped/awkward? I had thought you might create a wooden framework the same size as the PT, so you would then have more height imside and not have to bend awkwardly. Then again, I have had back problems in the past so that is probably making me overly concerned - you're younger and fitter than me so may not have these issues. Anyway, the extra space will be useful for all those melons, I gather they don't like chilly nights.
@@homegardens7682 I'm sure you'll make it work for you. If you find access a bit awkward you can always rejig it for next season. Just be wary of the back issues, IME it's so easy to pull muscles in lower back when bending low, trying to move things around. My back problem started when I was bending over the bath, filling a bucket of water from the bath tap... such a simple thing, but it caused a lot of pain, for weeks. Hence my words of caution (nagging). ☺

Oh yes, that can happen, just got to take our time, trial and error, tortoise and the hare.

Certainly is Jo. Hope all is good in Sunny US!

Cheers, loads on my channel on those subjects.
You've had a busy weekend with videos Dan ! All good stuff
Cheers! I have enjoyed it! It's all fun!
That was a great video clip you put up there off the small green house you have there 👍👍
Cheers!
Hi matey ..question i ask is could you tell me (if thee know) how long the polyethelene lasts before it starts to perish cheers 👍
God bless you for this video I’ve been stressing about how to secure my greenhouse and not knowing what the hell to do
My pleasure. If you type into how to put up a polytunnel you will see my new tunnel.
Might not lift up, but will it rip ?
So i was wondering if you could tell us how you protect your cherries from birds
Hi. I will be putting the nets up soon. CDs on strings are a good one as well apparently bit I have never tried them myself.
Thank you , ill try both of those and see how it goes.
Good stuff.
how did you anchor down the tunnel though?

I will agree it is a tad awkward. We will see how it unfolds....

I have back pain already....sciatica at times as well. I do need to be careful....
