Did it ourselves. No problem at all, just me and Mrs W. Planned and prepared the job properly and got the cover on in about an hour and then I spent a bit more time finishing the job.

If you are hoping to develop business you really need to run your texts through a spell checker (it's easy to do) as as things stand the glaring spelling errors do not inspire confidence.

 

We covered nine 60ft x 30ft tunnels one summer with 5 people, the most important thing i`d say is to pick a warm day (not blazing sun) with no hint of a breeze, especially for big tunnels Fixing the cover to timber ground rails is much easier than the trenching method, it gives a better finish and you can fit guttering to it.
The XL Sunmaster Clear poly is good stuff, its just a pity it isnt available in a 2m width which would make recladding mine a lot easier

 

I've covered two of my own and helped two friends cover theirs, not a difficult job to do as long as there is a minimum of two people. If your covering your own and not sure how to do then ask on forums or google it. Plenty of info freely available for those who want to do it, you could even ask at your local allotments, all the tunnels there will have been done by their owners.
