Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me. my polytunnel is seriously too hot.
I have seen that some people have a kind of mesh covering the doors so you can keep them open and keep nasties out.
Does anyone know the easiest or cheapest way I can obtain one these nets.
I have looked and looked and cant find anything.
Hope you can help me

You could just go buy some yards of tulle from a craft store, and make a 1x2" wood frame that fits into the open door slot, held in with a latch or two on either side.
My mum has one of these for the patio doors on her conservatory....

Other brands are available
. I'm sure I've seen cheap ones in B&M bargains.
I suspect it's more to keep birds out than bugs, so almost any kind of netting attached to a frame should do the job.
Kitty - got one of those curtains last week for my greenhouse (I stress out madly if bees go in and I'm always rescuing them) for £3 in one of those cheap shops whose name looks like Bum! I have just to get it up - when the wretched rain lets me out of the house.
Thank you so much everyone for your help and advice. Debbiex
