Polytunnel torn in high winds

Arrived today to find the polytunnel split all the way down one side. Looks like it's split along the line of fold or join in the original sheet. Anyway, a major rent and one that will need a substantial repair or even replacement. Food for thought. Suggest you go and have a view and we'll consider options.

To try and prevent the wind from ripping the whole thing right off, we've punctured some small holes and tied the sheeting to the metal frame with a view to holding it down. Not sure how successful it will be, but it was billowing when we arrived and it's clearly been tearing either end when a strong gust catches it.

You'd have had photo's, but the damned batteries on the digital camera decided to fail at the most inopportune of moments.
