my tunnel house mostly made from recycled materials and rubbish (beehaw.org)

My partner and I made this wee tunnel house out of dumped hothouse plastic, old vineyard netting, polypipe we found in the forest, and old fence posts. We had to buy some timber for the framing and zip ties to hold the materials together but we got to make use of so many dumped materials.

It's built to hold all my seedtrays, cuttings, seedlings, and saplings for my garden. I still need to build some shelves inside to help organise the space, tidy up thr edges, and add a door but I'm happy with it for now.

Ignore the pile of logs, they are going in the alleyway to the left and behind the tunnel house as mushroom logs.

wow - looking really good! I like the wood framing in the middle!

Thanks! Once I have the seedling table set up underneath I'll use the beams to hang my hanging baskets. I want to be able to rotate the ones on my deck so they always look full and fresh through every season
