    Hi all
    I have been given a small poly tunnel roughly 2.5x2x2 meters, which is great but unfortunately there are some big tears in the polythene is there a satisfactory way of repairing the tears, that will stand up to a good blow.

    You can buy repair tape Jack, but from the prices I have seen for the tape you would be best to work out how much tape you would need to fix it...or to just replace the whole cover.

    Is it one of the "Blowaways" tunnels with the chequerboard square covers, or is different from that?

    If it's the former have a look on ebay for replacement covers.

    Steve...:)

    Yep thats what it is

    I will be putting raised beds inside and screwing the frame to them, so the frame at least with be staying put.:yess:
    As suggested I will probably look at a replacement cover, I measured it today and its 3x2x2 so the eBay one is a little small , or maybe I will try the tape first.

    Decisions decisions:D
