    Hi its really very nice video. Could you tell me please how much total cost.

    • @psisky

      Put your own kit together. We're finishing ours right now and it cost about a third. Search all the construction companies near you that might have a 'yard'. Google street is a good help. Someone will have a roll of pipe just laying around. Ours is made from high density blue water pipe, 90mm. It's still on a google street photo, laying in a pile of junk. Cost us £40. Plastic around £750. Extra tough posts, abut £130. Other bits adding to 2 or 3 hundred £. Still a fraction of the price.

      Dont use blue or red pipe. It is designed for underground use and not uv stabilised. It will eventually go white, harden and possibly even break.​@psisky

      Thanks. I didn't have any building experience prior to constructing the polycrub, but I have plenty of DIY experience which helped. I think any building contractor could assemble the polycrub for you.

      Hi, yes this is a kit. See www.polycrub.co.uk. There are lots of different kits/options. This is the first winter with my polycrub. I'm currently growing plenty of veg at the moment and it's been a max of 6 degrees during the day and minus during the night - those temps are outside temps. Not sure what the temp was inside.

    Thank you for sharing this. I just got the Peerie delivered and the ground works is the first phase. I hear getting the sheets aligned are the hardest task - did you have any issues? Great to see the delivery - I had same situation -the delivery guy (from Patersons) was great. Clearly yours turned out really good - well done!!

    • @polycrubdiaries8969
      @polycrubdiaries8969  3 года назад +2

      Hey, thanks for your comment :o) Yeah the sheets were a bit of a pain to fit. We used plastic 'car trim removal tools' and a spray bottle with dilute fairy liquid to help slide the panels into the 'H' section joining strips. Hopefully it will be easier on yours as it is smaller and the panels won't be as difficult to wrestle/push into position. It took 2 of us to do it both up separate ladders. One of us located the edge of the panel while the other pushed from the other edge of the panel to locate everything. We started at one side/end of the panel and worked up and over the top and down to the other side. Have fun building yours and I hope this video has been of help.
