FeelGoodUK PRO 3m x 2m x 2m Polytunnel Greenhouse Pollytunnel Poly Polly Tunnel Allotment or Garden Fully Galvanised Anti Rust Steel Frame

Product Information

The best polytunnels for an allotment will provide you with appropriate opportunities for ventilation. This could include doors, windows or vents low down on the side of the tunnel. Finally, we have come to budget. Hardly any of us are able to just buy the best polytunnel out there, money no object. Most of us are limited by a budget, we can’t buy an expensive polytunnel, even if we wanted to.

When it comes to fabric, clear polythene is great if you want to let a lot of light into your polytunnel . It provides greater transparency compared to coloured plastic fabric or fleece. Choose a fleece tunnel over polythene if you want plants to receive natural irrigation from the rain . If you do not have purpose-built housing you could use a garden shed or polytunnel, as long as there is adequate light, space and ventilation.’ The video should serve as a prudent reminder buying is half the job or less, the other half is having this thing really deep rooted into the ground so here’s some tips to make sure yours doesn’t blow away: Anchor your polytunnel properly No planning permission required. Like greenhouses, polytunnels don’t require planning permission. This makes them far less time consuming to set up than other outdoor structures.

Key Features and Considerations when Purchasing Polytunnels

In terms of length, polytunnels can range from around 3 metres long to upwards of 20 m. You’ll need to leave space around the polytunnel to erect it and carry out maintenance. Also, if using heaters, it will be easier to maintain the temperature of smaller polytunnels. Therefore, you may benefit from using several smaller polytunnels as opposed to one large one. This is also true as different plants may require different conditions. Selecting the Right Cover Material

The FeelGoodUK Polytunnel comes with a full, heavy duty 25mm steel metal frame and stronger welded joints all through. This gives it one of the most robust frameworks on this list capable of withstanding fairly harsh winds and rains. But it’s the cover that really stands out. The manufacturer made use of durable UPVC covers that not only keep the heat inside, but protect your plants from strong winds and snow. It’s also easy to assemble and the best part is, it comes with a real door – no more weak roll ups and zippers. What I like about it:Having a door you can open, to let much needed air into the polytunnel is vital. Two doors, one at each end, is even better. Because this will allow you to achieve air circulation. One of the main benefits of a polytunnel is to provide the perfect growing environment for your plants. Whether this is warmth or higher humidity. The fixings are of reasonable quality, but the zip for the door is not overly strong and will need to be used with care to avoid breaking it. There are also only eight zip ties included for holding the cover onto the frame, and they are quite short and fiddly to attach. Made from 140 g PE fabric, with a galvanised steel metal frame, this tall 6 x 3 x 2 m polytunnel can cover a large flowerbed or vegetable patch. We often get photos from proud customers (keep them coming!) of their tunnels and results, but these images from France-based poytunnel customer Lynne, are straight from the “How to build your polytunnel” textbook (if one exists!). Thanks for the images Lynne!
