PLANT PRIORITY: A strip window runs down one side and is fitted with mesh to keep bugs out whilst allowing ventilation, a clever feature allows the plastic flap to be clipped up creating a water catcher which funnels water to the end allowing you to place a water butt under it. Some polytunnels have air vents/’windows’ on the sides, which can be opened or shut depending on the weather. Additional Sections Ground anchors come in many shapes and sizes, from corkscrews to curved stakes. All polytunnels should be at least held down by ground anchors, so don’t skip this step. And to prove it, there are many accolades being collected by commercial growers and domestic gardeners. Farmer and food producers are winning industry awards for growing vegetables and fruits that would normally struggle in our notoriously changeable weather patterns.

Constructed using powder coated steel frames covered with a waterproof PE protector, this polytunnel is durable and easy to construct.

If you are considering buying a polytunnel, a kit can be a great way to go and save you hundreds of pounds on installation. Additionally, building a polytunnel from scratch is probably easier than you think – we often say that building a polytunnel is a bit like putting together giant meccano. To build a standard polytunnel kit, you will need an additional pair of hands and some basic tools. Many customers build their tunnels over a weekend, but there are a number of factors that determine how long it takes – the size and specification of the polytunnel, digging conditions, weather, and DIY skills all factor into the time it takes to build a kit. These trolleys are designed for use by customers in garden centres but can be used for many applications.A polytunnel is used to extend the growing season for your crops, allowing for a bigger, often higher quality, harvest each year. They help to keep a consistent growing temperature and atmosphere that allows crops to thrive much better than they might do when exposed to the elements. Because the crops are under cover, they are also safe from the mouths of birds and other wildlife. If you’re relatively new to gardening, or simply don’t want to splash out on an overly-expensive polytunnel, the Garden Grow Polytunnel is a good option to consider. Our calculator selects a width of polythene that spans the distance over polytunnel hoop (C) adding excess to accommodate enough material for burying in a trench (additional 2m) or fitting to base rails (additional 1m). We have fixed widths of covers, please note that certain covers have limited widths available and selecting one of these may result in excess material, ie our Super Therm has four widths to choose from, whereas our Green/White has only one.
