The Tomato Shelter

As all the varieties of tomatoes I'm growing this year are vine, then I need to rig up some proper support and the ones I grew outside last year took ages to produce fruit and ripen. So I've 'designed' a combined support and shelter arrangement to try to give them the best growing conditions without resorting to having to get a greenhouse/poly tunnel and especially if this summer turns out like last year's.... and here it is, TAA-DAA!!!!!
Yes it's a hybrid polytunnnel/bike shelter arrangement, customised from the original Tunnel de Forcage components and only time (and high winds) will tell if it works.....I'll cram as many of the other tomato plants in gro-bags at home, some more on the plots and give away the leftovers.
