Embark on an adventure with our meticulously crafted playlist dedicated to the 18ft polytunnel. This series is specially curated to assist gardeners of all skill levels in constructing a 18ft polytunnel.
Our playlist begins with the foundational steps of preparing an earth base, ensuring a solid starting point for your polytunnel. Each video guides you through essential phases, such as hoop assembly and the precise installation of corner stabilisers.
The building process progresses with the central ridge installation and the addition of roof stabilisers, which are pivotal in reinforcing the frame against harsh conditions. Detailed instructions on assembling crop bars and hoop storm braces further enhance the tunnel's stability and ensure your crops are protected year-round.
To optimize your polytunnel's functionality, we include thorough guides on both hinged and sliding door systems, allowing for easy access and efficient operation. You’ll also learn how to install both aluminium and timber base rails, alongside a variety of side ventilation options to maintain an ideal growing environment.
The covering process is crucial, and our videos provide expert tips on fitting covers to both timber and aluminium rails, including trenching methods for long-lasting performance. The use of anti-hot spot tape is explored to extend the lifespan of your cover by protecting it from wear and heat accumulation.
By following our detailed instructions, you will build a 18ft polytunnel tailored to your gardening needs. Each video is packed with practical advice, ensuring you know every step and tool required to complete your project successfully.
