Hi Guys.
Nice job. We call them polytunnels in the UK. I like how you have filled the ends with a different material [polycarbonate i assume]. It always seems to be problematic trying to fold the sheet from a curved surface onto the flat ends. A lady on the next allotment to me is building one of these, so i will suggest that she fills the ends with polycarbonate. A little more cost but so much simpler when you come to replace the sheet in years to come.

Thank you. It is polycarbonate from a previous greenhouse destroyed by 60 mph winds a few years ago. We used something called "wiggle wire" to secure the sides & ends.
