Polytunnel Path - Cheap and Cheerful

[lottie dolly]

ours has smaller slabs on top of weed fabric,i find nice in two respects,A ti's easy to keep clean/sweep the bits of it,B holds the heat for later in the day,C if you need to create humidity when hot,water it,

I have slabs down the middle of mine. Great for cooling the tunnel down with a splash of water the length of the slabs when it gets really hot.

Some great ideas here - glad this thread has continued I am preparing to put the polytunnel up for the second time in a different (more sheltered) place this year because last year it started to blow over in May when it was really windy here even though it was dug in!! I didn't get the chance to start the path!!!

(However, if anyone wants a windy day let me know when and I'll endeavour to put the tunnel up the day before)

What a good idea, to water down paths.
Thanks.

I got my tunnel last year and went to the builders merchant who's skip had several slightly damaged packs of kitchen/laminated flooring. I got them for nothing and can sweep them and spray them down to clean them and humidify when its hot. After a year they've survived suprisingly well!

They have been fabby, they recommend bamboo inserts in the top seams but I cut big lengths of wood and made them even stronger. They can be moved about so at the mo I have loads of lettuce seedlings in the PT ready to be just lifted bed by bed out into the cold frames. As you can probably figure out...I live at the foot of a munro!
