Hanging a Double Door Frame on Polytunnel

Double Doors are available on all polytunnels greater than 10ft wide. In this video we show you how to build a double door frame on the end hoop of your polytunnel and how to hang the doors.
Start by measuring 32in either side of centre on the end hoop or steel door rail (depending on the size of tunnel) and making a mark. Dig a hole underneath each of these marks. Place the first timber door post in the first hole with the inside edge lined up with the mark. Mark the post under the hoop/door rail and cut on this mark. Re-position the door post and, using a P Clip around the hoop/door rail, bolt the post to the clip - make sure that the leg of the 'P' runs down the outside face of the door post. Backfill the hole.
Hang the first door on this post leaving adequate room at the bottom for the door to open without catching.
Hang the second timber door post using the same method as the first but leave it hanging loose. Hang the second door at a height that coincides with the first door. Adjust the loose post until the two doors align, then secure the P Clip in place and back fill the hole.
Fit the lintel between the two posts 6mm above the doors using a nail plate across the joins on the inside, and a 6in nail through the posts into the lintel.
