Why use a Polytunnel?
A Poly tunnel gives you the gift of gardening outdoors, indoors. Crops and flowers grow faster and stronger when sheltered from winds, warmed by the sun and protected from frosts. A Polytunnel provides an ideal space for sowing earlier, harvesting later and hugely improving the growing potential of every square foot of soil.

@polytunnels Don’t plants need UV A/B for photosynthesis? Or is that only UV C?

@07aturton Just like on our Domestic & Commercial Polytunnels, the polythene used on our mini polytunnels is Thermal Anti Fog which is 720 gauge (180 micron) and comes with a 5yr guarantee. This film has added UV A & UV B filters which dramatically reduce many fungal diseases & condensation. FOR USE WITH All crops where heat is important such as bedding/annual plants, propagation houses & over wintered vegetable production. .

Thanks Buddy
Nope – it stinks a bit, but the fumes are no problem to the plants.
Gas is slightly less fuming – and probably more available than paraffin these days but I’d steer clear of the electric ones – a bit pricey.

Hi Brandonbug,
Nope it is really, really true. I can take you, if you really wanted to go. The pane f glass was up a conifer tree, which was also shrouded by a clematis (C. montana, it comes out in the spring). Anyway, the neighbours, whose garden it was, were pruning the clematis, up a ladder, and the pane fell out.
It scared me to death because they have grandchildren, and they could have been harmed. I can prove this was truthful, but thanks for watching me over and again, kinda sweet that.
