It's true that it took some hours building it ... but when u love it then...

I keep on posting photos of my first 5 m width polytunnel and its insulation

and to improve its efficiency, 1000l of water barrels as a termalmass

in order to limit the temperature from going very low in winter, you can insulate the northern part of your tunnel and you can use water tanks (like barrels) under your shelves on the shadiest side of your tunnel, it can be quiet efficient specially with sunny daytime. The problem is the water drops...

Hello,

just wandering how to see again the photos of the construction of your tunnel?
Thank's

Thierry

Thanks for that Liz. yes, a lot higher than Essex - I think I am about 30m asl! I was hoping it may even go higher than that, so possibly be cold hardy enough to grow in SW Cornwall, SW Ireland or other milder, wet, western seaboard places. I think that far south, anything above 3000m things start ...

You're wright: this is a great place for landscapes, plants, animals, and insects !!!!

Thank you too, but I'm really happy to show some nice place like this garden!!

Yes, you should have a look at it and Jean-Luc is so kind ... and the garden is free!!!
