Polytunnel layout

Hello,

I'm in the process of erecting my first polytunnel, 14x36, Yay! I'm wondering how to lay out the raised beds inside, either three beds with two running along the polythene and one central bed; or two beds, with paths running along the polythene? Is it ok to have plants growing right up to the polythene, or do they get damaged, or does the polythene get damaged? Most of the photos I see online have plants along the polyhthene.

Any other tips for a first time polytunneller would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Thanks for the bump image

    That's the sort of plan I've got in my head. I've just heard a few people say not to grow against the polythene as it might damage either plants or polythene. But it seems to give more growing space only having two paths, not three....
