Expanding the grow area

Hi everyone,

I have been busy building a polytunnel to move my current plants into and expand my collection as well. I bought a "kit" which I am putting together with a help of a friend.
Very excited about it as I can't wait to start using it!

I am also putting a fence around it, I have dogs who will love nothing more then to tear holes in my tunnel :p

I will also be building a table which will house the plants, the table will have it's own watering system built in, basically an Ebb and Flow system, Ill use a weir as my overflow and that will go into a reservoir and be pumped back. Will also look at a filter system to try and clean out any algae growth.

Here are some photos of the progress so far:

I wish that I had a greenhouse like that. Good luck and be sure to show us what's growing in there.
 
You appear to have copied a download link, rather than an image link to those files. Looks very nice though!
 
Thanks all, will keep you posted on the progress.
[MENTION=10989]nimbulan[/MENTION], please check the images now, I am using my google drive to host the embedded images but made some changes to the url which should hopefully have corrected it :)

I can't see how the wood frame attaches to the ground. If it is not staked you might want to consider it. Where I am I have seen some pretty big stuff take off in a high wind. Though I guess the two uprights at either end might be... looks great!

Appears to be working now.

So you are way ahead of me on that one. :) Best of luck with it.
