STEP 1:
Cut two 19mm x 38mm battens to fit across the top of the End Frame between the rebate battens.
Starting at one end of the Sheep House, trap the Polythene with these battens pressed tight up to the rebate
batten. The Polythene should be smoothed out 4 inches either side of the lintel centre and the batten nailed
in place along this 8 inch length only for the time being
(Fig41)
.

At the opposite end the same method of fixing should be used, but this time the Polythene should be pulled
along the length of the Sheep House as tight as possible before nailing the batten in position.
•
STEP 2:
Tension the Polythene down to the Side Rail on one side, starting in the middle.
This is best done with one person at a hoop either side of centre. Do not over tension, but when the cover is
smooth from the centre Ridge down to the Side Rail batten the cover to the rail tight up to the rebate. Using
this method, work your way out to the ends.
Repeat this on the second side but this time get as much tension as possible into the cover
(Fig 42).
***Make sure to pull the cover along the length of the structure as well as down to the Side Rail – this will mean
the cover will not dip between the hoops too much***
