Over the past couple of days, I’ve slowly made further progress on the polytunnel – the ventilation screen yesterday, finishing battening down the covering and starting to bury some of the skirts today and, still to come, the important step of getting the doors fitted.

We are definitely over the main hurdle though and, now the cover is fitted, it also means that I’ve got a sheltered ‘indoor outdoors’ spot where I can carry on working or put tools when, like today, the weather turns dampish.
