A long tunnel house

Constrained by the size of the remaining plastic (4.6m x 7m) I decided on a long thin shape being 1.5 meters wide and about 1.7 high at the center.

Plastic houseAn excellent opportunity to make use of the discarded sections of black plastic pope and those concrete posts I hauled from Christchurch some years ago.

At 7 meters long and 5 posts along each side it's a solid looking construction.

With winter here again I am reminded of the need to provide optimum growing conditions.

There was considerable plastic left over from our other 'glass' house so decided to put it to good use.
