Product Information

You might not be able to afford the best technology that is currently on the market, but it is always good to shop around to see what you can afford.

As already suggested earlier, look for a polytunnel that has a sturdy metal frame made from steel. Some polytunnels are also reinforced by timber, which will make them even stronger and wind reistant.

After the construction was complete, we finished ours off with some cheap pallet collars (bought from Facebook Marketplace) as raised beds, then laid a slab path down the middle, filling in the gaps with gravel. The more you spend, the more you save and so sometimes it can be cheaper to add on an extra just to get across the threshold for the next discount offer (it ranges from 10-20% off). If you want to overwinter slightly tender plants, your space needs will be smaller than if you want to extend your growing season, grow summer crops such as tomatoes or grow more exotic plants. The next thing to consider is the location of the polytunnel. Will it be sheltered and protected from the elements or will it get battered by wind and rain. My recommendation would be to sit down and think carefully about what you want to grow on your allotment or in your garden. Inside the polytunnel but also outside.

If you know that it will have to withstand strong winds, you also want to make sure that you secure it as much as possible. This includes strengthening its structure by adding crop bars and storm bracing. I’d strongly recommend doing the same if you can as it is much more fun when other people are involved. Digging the foundations Frame built, cover ready Doors on, mission complete! Another consideration you should take into account is whether you are planning to heat your polytunnel or not.Durable, heavy duty PE cover to protect your plants is 100% waterproof, windproof and protects against harmful UV rays. Protecting your plants all year round. Six Windows – the insect-proof mesh windows keep pests away, while the roll-up cover creates a welcome air flow throughout the tunnel. When closed, the greenhouse maintains higher humidity levels – ideal for growing tropical plants. I would always recommend buying the best quality for the price you can afford, even if that means shopping around a bit. If your budget won’t stretch to a cover that has these special features, then the next point is even more important, ventilation. Ventilation All in all, it does take time (we spent 2-3 days on ours), especially if like us, you like to read and then re-read all the instructions and watch and re-watch all the videos! It also does need some level of physical effort, though it’s more about stamina than strength.

There are many vegetables that you can grow all winter in a polytunnel. Or maybe you need to bring in some of your outdoor plants to overwinter them. To prevent the cover coming off in strong winds, you have to either fix it to the frame or use the trenching method, whereby you bury the edges of the cover in the soil. One thing I wouldn’t recommend is going for the cheapest options. Because these tend to be of poor quality and are likely to only last for a few months. Perfect to keep young plants protected during harsher conditions, this polytunnel is supplied with high-quality, durable, metal pegs to ensure it’s always secure to the ground. If you decide that your crops are ready to face the weather alone, simply move the lightweight tunnel to your next crop or deconstruct with ease for use again next season. So it is important to buy the best quality you can for your budget. To ensure you get the best polytunnel for your needs, look out for these criteria.Some people will recommend to go as big as your space allows, but if you then don’t use all the space in the polytunnel, you might regret this. Measuring 3-metres in length and 2-metres in width, this tunnel has plenty of room to grow a variety of crops. To compliment your polytunnel we also offer a range of powder coated wire shelving units and seedling trays. It features double stitched seams for maximum durability and has a double zip door that can be rolled up for easy access. There are also netted windows to ensure the temperature within the greenhouse can be controlled. These windows can also be covered by rolling down the PE covers.
