It's probably too cold outside for anyone to want to spend any time trying to figure it all out.  I bet the first bit of warm sun we get will see you inundated with requests to take it off your hands!

Having posted stuff for free on free cycle its not worth the bother. A woman was so nasty to me because I said there was a waiting list it was un beleavable. I would ring round a chairities as they ofen have man power and are grateful for anything.
I now box evertyhing up and take it to a homeless charity, even big stuff.

I would happily get you a huge box of twirls, the biggest box I could find,  for the polytunnel... But we are stuck down here in Norfolk - Hubby is gutted because he would probably figure it out & add bits to it and it would make a great pool house... You are just so far away    :(     Aaaaargh!!!

Don't suppose it could be folded down/squashed/packed up?  Guess you've tried Gumtree?

where are you?

I have major polytunnel envy and would have tried to botch something hen proof and weather-resistant but I'm in Fife and have no transport for anything bigger than goes in the car - I'm guessing others will be in similar circs, distance or travel on top of dubious ability to construct even a well behaved instruction-compliant version let alone a runaway rebel tunnel..

Best of luck - if you're ever passing Fife with a trailer, feel free to dump the puzzle on me ;)

Where are you ? I have been thinking about getting one to shove my bloke in. He can grow stuff and trail his hands on the ground as much as he likes UG UG. Bet you are miles away.  ;D

The thing is in Somerset, near Langport, right on the roadside, where i though at least it would be stolen. but alas no thieving types have a trailer long enough it seems  :relief:

How about buying some helium balloons to tie to it - and let it fade away into the sunset :roflanim:

I'll gladly lend a hand to anyone wanting to give it a go. I don't have means of transporting it else I would grab it ;)

Heck no I can't do that and risk losing a taker!!

So, has it been rescued?  Is it gone?  Are you celebrating?  And if the taker manages to make a complete polytunnel out of it, will you get and post a picture? ;D

I'm singing in the rain, singing in the rain what a beautiful fee ...... oh all right, if you must know, it has gone :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:
I am now the proud non-owner of  "it" and have in my posession two lovely juicy gorgeous bottles of the bestest red wine i will ever drink this weekend and enough chocolate to make myself wonderfully 'ick  :pig: :pig:
S,, I do hope you got home allright!! C, I didn't even notice if the yellow box was gone!!
....and hopefully C & S have managed to get the back door of the trailer down and removed the object from the kindly loaned trailer.
C if you are reading this, did you see that people want photographs of this?  Aren't they a strange lot on here!  Thank you very much for coming and taking it away, and for the bag which had twice as much in it than was necessary, i may even feel the need to share, :relief:

Clattering noise?  you can't be filling them full enough!!  (on a serious not, have you checked the lambs heads are not small enough to get stuck inside them? )
 
 Thank you very kindly for your offer of a "one of those", but i'm afraid i'll have to decline, my nerves just couldn't stand it  :tired: :tired:
