Polytunnel constuction: We built our homemade polytunnel greenhouse from whatever we had laying around on our property. We used a wire mesh panel from an old wood pellet container, a children’s playhouse we took down, some pallets and wood planks. The only things we bought for this project was a sheet of 6 x 10 meters of PVC cover and 4 concrete foundation blocks. The total cost for these was less than DKK 1000 ($150).

I would like to thank these for inspiration:
Charles Dowding for valuable insights into no-dig gardening and what to grow in a polytunnel vs. greenhouse.
Mossy Bottom for tips on his polytunnel build
Home Gardens for valuable insights in building a polytunnel on his alotment and alotment gardening. Go check them all out.
