Step-by-Step High Tunnel Disassembly

1. Start by removing any plants or debris inside the high tunnel. This will make the disassembly process easier and prevent damage to the plants.

2. Take off the plastic covering of the high tunnel. Begin at one end and carefully remove the plastic sheeting. Use a knife or staple remover to cut and remove any staples or fasteners holding the plastic in place.

4. Once the frame is disassembled, remove the stakes or anchors holding the high tunnel to the ground. Use a pry bar or shovel to loosen and remove them.

5. Clean up the area and dispose of any materials in an environmentally-friendly manner. Consider recycling or repurposing the materials if possible.

Following these step-by-step instructions, you'll be able to successfully remove your high tunnel and prepare for your next gardening project.
