Questions we regularly get asked by Customers
We pride ourselves on offering a high level of customer service and are on hand to answer any questions. Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. If you can’t find the answer you need, take a look at our full list of FAQs or give our friendly team a call.
A polytunnel is a steel-framed tunnel with a polythene cover that's used to grow vegetables, fruits and flowers. It's similar to a greenhouse, except it uses a specially designed sheet of polythene instead of glass to create its own climate.
You've probably seen polytunnels before in fields or at a garden centre. They're semi-circular structures with a door at one or both ends. They are sold in many sizes from mini polytunnels for gardens and allotments to large commercial polytunnels.
Polytunnels put you in control of nature, allowing you to create microclimates and extend the growing season. With the development of new polythene covers, you can grow all kinds of crops and exotic plants in a polytunnel. Strawberries, tomatoes and even chillies can flourish under cover – even in cooler UK weather.
An estimated 80% of British strawberries are grown in polytunnels. Many award-winning flowers and record-breaking vegetables are also grown this way. So, if you choose one of our polytunnels for sale, you can enjoy homegrown crops and healthy, cost-effective meals all year round.
Want tips, tricks and ideas for growing in polytunnels? Check out our range of growing guides. We have guides for a wide selection of vegetables and fruits, as well as herbs and spices.
Originally developed as a cost-effective, more flexible and easier-to-install alternative to greenhouses, polytunnels have continued to develop and advance over the years. Today, they're the first choice for growing under in countries throughout the world.
Polytunnels allow you to grow plants that might not normally survive in your local environment. They provide your produce with extra shelter against adverse weather conditions and the changing of the seasons. For these reasons, avid gardeners and commercial growers alike will tell you that they can't manage without them.
Polytunnels are versatile and can be used for a wide range of extra uses. They're particularly popular as educational spaces for schools, for horticultural therapy for charities, and as sheep shelters for farmers. Some of our customers use them as community hubs, dog training arenas, and wedding venues!
You can construct your own polytunnel, ideally with a friend or family member helping. A domestic polytunnel really is a two-person job, whereas a large commercial polytunnel may need extra pairs of helping hands when it's time to fit the cover.
The basic steps are to check you have the necessary tools, carry out a general site clearance, dig the holes, construct the steel and timber framework, and pull the polythene cover over.
To make things easier, we provide you with detailed construction guides to follow, and answer frequently asked construction questions, while our construction helpline on 01282 811250 is open seven days a week until 9pm. We also have a full collection of construction videos on our YouTube channel.
We're a family business, run by a father, daughter and son team. All our polytunnels are produced in-house. Because of this, we're confident that the quality our polytunnels is unmatched. This confidence is backed by the awards we have won.
Our specialist design is the only one to include all the following as standard:
- For extra strength and rigidity, we use larger diameter hoops than other models.
- The UK’s first 5-layer Thermal Anti Drip polythene cover.
- Wide ‘wheelbarrow’ doors for easy access.
- Universal fixing brackets for ease of construction.
Our satisfied customers are especially impressed by our excellent customer service, including our unrivalled after sales support. We're the only polytunnel company to offer an out-of-hours Construction Advice Helpline, open seven days a week until 9pm.
