Polytunnell

Thanks for that Peter. We will need a lot of Wwoofers so! Also we have a cat!

Hi Hannah I am a happy tunnel owner coming into my second year, Mine is the trench type and very secure even though we live on a very windy hill.Simon Cummins was the supplier, we found he went out of his way to help us with replacement covering and erection. Had several disasters with plants last year but learnt by our .mistakes, and looking forward to a very fruitful summer. Good luck and Enjoy Sylvia

Hi Peter,
getting rid of cats in specific areas is easy. Cats hate water!
One of my cats went climbing onto the Polytunnel and a quick heavy watering with the hosepipe removed her easily.
For stubborn cats you might have to repeat the treatment,but they'll connect climbing up the tunnel with a bad experiance,but won't know you did it,
because you didn't touch them.
I'm busy at the moment to water one of my cats out of the tunnel,which seems to be an attractive oversized cat-toilet.
We also keep a small sprayer on the kitchen table labelled " cat-remover ".
For all the ones out there that don't want cats at all,and they pop round from the neighbours,throw them into a pond or tub of cold water.Sounds extreme,but it works! Good luck

Hi Hannnah - you may well have purchased your tunnel by now - if not - we've just bought what we think is a real bargain..

There's a guy in Reenaree, Co. Cork that is making and selling them for under €400 for a 24'long, 14' wide tunnel... My father who has plenty of experience in erecting tunnels was expecting it to be poor quality and flimsy, but was impressed with the steel used for the frame and the overall tunnel itself. The guy even gave us some extra long legs, so we could gain 7ft height as we are both tall...

If you want any further info, let me know.
