I'm looking at putting a polytunnel in the garden at the 'back' of our 60 ft long stone cottage (originally 2 farm cottages). There is no water supply at all there and I'm trying to find the best way to arrange that - the gable end of the house is on public road so a very long hose system is not realistic.
My latest thought is to take an extension off the feed to the cold water tank in the attic over the wall head and drop it down the 3m wall. The underground path to the polytunnel will be in MDPE.
My question is - if I use MDPE for the drop and enclose it in a wooden case (or something similar) for it's exposed vertical section, will that be OK? I would envisage putting a drain facility at ground level
- should I think about trying to get that below ground level ?
Thanks Rob
