Default Polytunel film

I was hoping to put the cover on my new polytunnel on Monday (if the wind has gone ) However, as its an anti fog cover, I read that they have to be put with the anti fog surface inside. My question is, as there is no visible difference (that i can see) how do you tell which is which?

If its just coated one side then I would have thought that side would feel rougher, but it may be that it isnt coated it may be the colour of the plastic so you should be able to put it either way round.

Cheers Chris

By 'Anti fog' I presume this is to stop it dripping on the plants? If so, pour some water on both faces and the one where the water globulates? and runs off easier will be the inside I would guess?

PS The ones I've seen, usually have the ridges off the folds on the outside so you can pull it taut easier!

Sorry, what do you mean by ridges off the folds?

I think you'll find when the cover is pulled over and you can read the writing on the plastic on the inside of the tunnel its the right way.

Thank you Hole digger, you are correct. As I was unable to put cover on due to wind, I checked with manufacturers today after the Easter break.
