    I'm moving a polytunnel i have for the past 3 years. The store bought tunnel frame is fine apart from the ribbed plastic cover which is shot.

    I'm moving it to a sunnier spot in garden closer to my veg. Now, the plastic that came with it had a zipper door and 3 vents along each side. I've bought replacement polythene and I've to make a door frame for one end. I intend to face the door away from the prevailing wind.
    Will i need extra ventilation along sides? Its only a 3m long tunnel. Thanks

    Neither of my polytunnels have side vents. What I have is a door one end and a hinged "window" the other end that can be propped open. I read in a polytunnel book that this was recommended.
