In this Polytunnel Construction video we show you some of the later stages of building a polytunnel from Premier Polytunnels in the UK, including fitting the polytunnel cover using the base rail method (timber and aluminium options).
Our customers often ask: “Will I be able to build my own polytunnel?” The answer is yes, you will! Constructing an allotment/garden polytunnel really is a two person job, so why not invite a friend to join you and get stuck in. (Construction of larger, commercial polytunnels may take longer and require an extra pair of hands).
This video is just over an hour long, so find a comfy spot to sit and watch and reassure yourself that you can do it!

The polytunnel construction stages shown in this video are as follows:

0:00 – Staging Support Kit
2:33 – Hanging a Double Door Frame
5:41 – Hanging a Sliding Door Frame
8:17 – Timber Base Rail Kit
12:21 – Timber Side Rail Kit
17:00 – Aluminium Base Rail Kit
21:26 – Aluminium Side Rail Kit
27:00 – Forming a Door Rebate
28:31 – Side Ventilation preparation
31:18 – Covering your Polytunnel using Timber Side/Base Rails
35:52 – Covering your Polytunnel using Aluminium Side/Base Rails
44:09 – Ventilation Screen Kit (timber option)
52:01 – Ventilation Screen Kit (aluminium option)
1:00:45 – Fitting a Single Sliding Door

My «maximum compost» method for starting out. Add a lot to make new beds, then very little in subsequent years. The cardboard is only for this stage of smothering weeds — keep them in the dark and they expire! Then you dont need to lay any more cardboard, once there are no weeds.
For how to continue, see my Tools and Techniques video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic0LrNBuSi4

You can use less compost. Lay thick card on weeds then 2in/5cm compost asap in early spring, and wet the card if its dry. Then use a trowel to cut potato size holes in the card and a little into the weedy soil below, to pop in a seed potato. This can give some harvest by summer, while killing weeds too, but you must pull any weeds you see :)
Using less compost for no dig www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC6OBOyQ0mY

If you do not have access to any compost, use old leaves, manure at least half-decomposed — or at limit the one month old you see in this video. Results in year one will be less brilliant than in subsequent years, but you will be clearing weeds easily as well as having a harvest.
Vegetables like potatoes, squash and zucchini grow well though cardboard and less-perfect compost. After they finish you could plant kale or leeks etc.

POSTSCRIPT JULY 2020 the Charlotte potatoes from the two beds in the thumbnail photo gave 54kg/119lb. Then we transplanted looks.

See the whole process from sowing to earthing up to harvest, by pulling not digging. Potato plants easily root into undisturbed, no dig soil, while developing potatoes need soft, surface material to grow in.
Its often assumed that potatoes just wont grow in soil that has not been thoroughly loosened, but this video shows the opposite.
Filmed at Homeacres April to July 2018, in a spring that started cool and wet, then turned hot and dry after 3rd May. South West England zone 8 climate, last frost mid May.

My garden is no dig and you see how few weeds are growing. We spend most of our time planting and picking, about two hours/week on weeding a quarter acre/1000m2.
