  • The Poly Tunnel has suffered this winter under the weight of the snow so we need to get it back in shape and strengthen it to cope with the snow at winter time.

    Snow did quit the number on your green house. I'm glad nothing broke.

      Cheers bud, It was getting the slush out that was the hardest part.
      All sorted before it rained later.
      Cheers

    If it's any consolation to you...on the same day two years ago I had to rod my septic tank after it backed up. It certainly put any happy, Christmassy, thoughts out of my head. You both did a good job there because that was an awkward one.
    Best Wishes, Brendan.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      Thank god it was just a bit of snow, I bet you weren't in the mood for that job. It was awkward as it had started to rain and it was turning to slush. We got there in the end though.
      Cheers

    Good, quick repair job. Glad you got it sorted so quickly. It's just started snowing here in Germany. Good thing we didn't buy that poly tunnel we were planning on getting this year! LoL Thanks Martin. Hope you have a good new year.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      Cheers Bruce. i'll have to add more supports as the snow highlighted this weakness.
      Happy new year to you as well.

    Good job we don't get bad snowfalls often really, probably need to get some sort of triangulation in there somehow. Just watched your xmas day vid too, glad you all had a great xmas, all the best for the new year to you and the family, I've really enjoyed your vids this year and looking forward to more of the same.

    hi get some 12 foot or 14 foot old trampolines. and make a Polytunnel .and put scaffolding poles at each side to make it 3feet high. one trampoline makes 2 hoops

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      Interesting idea Sid, I can't picture it though. Cheers
      Martin

    • @sidsmith3587
      @sidsmith3587 Před 9 lety

    If you have a pond pump. Put it in the middle and drain it then pop it up.

  • @alanprice7584
    @alanprice7584 Před 5 lety

    The same thing happened to our polytunnel last winter and not far from us a commercially built tunnel on a farm also collapsed and it must have cost thousands to construct.

  • @petefroud5308
    @petefroud5308 Před 9 lety

    Not good that Martin , but you managed to save it. And the branch bit of luck not getting your windows .
    Maybe if you double the amount of hoops it will stop it happening again.
    Regards Pete.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      I think I'm going to leave the supports in till spring and maybe add a more permanent system later.
      Cheers

    Oh no what a bugger, bloomin snow, causes havoc.

      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety +1

      Your not wrong there Scott. I'll sort it though. All the best for the new year.

    What an ordeal, getting the 3x more expensive tunnel and bracing with sturdy stuff.

  • @millicenttirk8233
    @millicenttirk8233 Před 9 lety

    Goodness me, what a mess!

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      I think I saved it Millie. All the best for the new year.

  • @cwuzii
    @cwuzii Před 9 lety

    What a shame, I wouldn't have fixed it, more like just rip it down and build a new one, I'm lazy like that lol. Looks like in the future when it snows, you'll have to go out there every hour or so with a brush and tap it from the inside to knock it off or something :)

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      I think I'll incorporate those supports as well into the design. All the best for next year.
      Cheers

  • @eacomposites3014
    @eacomposites3014 Před 9 lety

    ahh that bites a bit mate but i guess it could have been worse and nothing seems to be past repair there

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      I'll think it will be ok with the temp supports in and i'll sort it out in the spring.
      Cheers
      Martin

    • @eacomposites3014
      @eacomposites3014 Před 9 lety

      yes i would think so fella and it sure better to be out there working in the spring than in the winter months

  • @cheftush
    @cheftush Před 9 lety

    Shame about the tree and the tunnel Martin.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety

      I'll sort it Tush. All the best for the new year.

    You ruined a perfectly good watering system for your plants...lol. Glad you were able to sort it out before it rained.

    • @retrorestore
      @retrorestore  Před 9 lety +1

      Yes, it rained later Ken so lucky we acted when we did. All the best.
