How To Build A 30ft Polytunnel | First Tunnels

Unlock the full potential of your gardening DIY skills with our detailed playlist on constructing a 30ft polytunnel. The construction journey begins by establishing a sturdy foundation, with options for an earth base or a solid base, setting the stage for a durable and stable structure. Our videos guide you through assembling hoops and installing corner stabilisers, essential steps to ensure the polytunnel's resilience and longevity. We then delve into reinforcing the structure with a central ridge and roof stabilisers, crucial for supporting the polytunnel under various environmental pressures. The playlist continues with the assembly of crop bars and the fitting of hoop storm braces, which bolster the 30ft polytunnel construction against the elements and ensure it remains secure. To aid accessibility and functionality, our playlist also covers the installation of door rails and the assembly of both hinged and sliding doors. This ensures smooth operation and easy access for everyday gardening tasks. Adequate ventilation is key to plant health, and our videos detail the installation of both aluminium and timber base rails, as well as side ventilation systems—with or without screens—to maintain an optimal growing environment. Completing your 30ft polytunnel involves securely fitting the cover, detailed in our tutorials for both timber and aluminium rails, and employing effective techniques like trenching for longevity. The use of anti-hot spot tape is also highlighted to protect the cover from wear and tear. This playlist will empower you with the knowledge on how to build a 30ft polytunnel that advances your capacity to grow a wide range of plants.
