Old growing tunnel becomes new sheep tunnel

Over the last couple of weeks we have been working on an old six bay multispan converting it into some sheep housing. as you can see side rails were added so ventilation netting could be fitted to keep the summer temperatures down.

 The  polythene supplied by XL Horticulture is from their smart green range and could still be used for growing if needed.

 The front of the tunnel was left as open as possible to keep plenty of airflow circulating round.

The suppliers we used for this structure were:

Polythene & netting

XL Horticulture

Timber & fastening /fixings

Timberworks , Settle , North Yorkshire

The team venture down south

The total Polytunnels team ventured down south to Chertsey in Surrey last week to re-sheet at 30ft x 75ft single span. Grass roots project was the venue and many thanks to them for keeping us supplied with tea.
