Description
A polytunnel provides a covered growing space that helps improve conditions for plants throughout the year. By enclosing crops, it supports warmer temperatures, limits exposure to wind and rain, and allows a wider range of vegetables, herbs and fruit to be grown more reliably.
Offering a practical alternative to a greenhouse, polytunnels give generous space for planting, maintenance and harvesting. The curved design promotes natural airflow, while the cover helps retain warmth and distribute light more evenly across the growing area.
Suitable for gardens, allotments and larger growing areas, this range is available in different widths so you can select the most suitable option for your space.
Available Polytunnel Width Options
Select from multiple widths to match your available area and planting requirements:
- 8ft wide polytunnel
- 10ft wide polytunnel
- 12ft wide polytunnel
Each size provides a practical growing space with good headroom and flexibility for a range of crops.
Crop bar kits are also available as an optional extra to provide additional internal support.
Base And Door Configuration Options
Each model is available with a choice of base type and door style, allowing you to tailor the setup to your site and preferred access.
- Standard Door with Trench Base
- Sliding Door with Trench Base
- Standard Door with Rail Base
- Sliding Door with Rail Base
Choosing Between Trench And Rail Base
Trench base models are installed by securing the cover into the ground around the perimeter. This method provides a firm hold and is commonly used for more permanent installations.
Rail base models use a rail system with anchor plates, removing the need for digging a trench. This can simplify installation while still offering a secure and stable structure.
Door Options For Access
Depending on the selected version, the tunnel can be fitted with either a hinged door or a sliding door. This gives flexibility based on available space and how you plan to access the tunnel during use.
Advantages Of Using A Polytunnel
- Extends the growing season with a warmer, more stable environment
- Shields plants from wind, heavy rain and sudden weather changes
- Encourages stronger growth through improved light and warmth
- Supports earlier planting in spring and later harvesting in autumn
- Creates a controlled space for vegetables, herbs, fruit and seedlings
- Helps reduce crop damage from outdoor conditions
- Offers a cost effective alternative to traditional greenhouses
Durable Galvanised Steel Frame
The structure is built from galvanised steel tubing designed for outdoor conditions. The hoop frame provides strength and helps maintain the tunnel’s shape in varying weather.
The galvanised coating helps protect against rust, supporting long term use in garden and growing environments.
UV Stabilised Polytunnel Cover
The cover allows high levels of light into the tunnel while helping spread it evenly across the space. This creates a balanced growing environment for plants.
UV stabilisation improves durability outdoors, while the material helps retain warmth inside the tunnel, particularly during cooler periods.
Suitable For Growing A Wide Range Of Crops
Polytunnels are widely used for growing crops that benefit from warmth and protection from the elements.
Typical uses include tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, chillies, herbs, salad crops, strawberries and other fruit and vegetables.
