Garden Grow Polytunnel 3M x2M Powder Coated Steel Frame, Walk In Greenhouse, Double Zipped Door & Windows (3 x 2 Polytunnel)

Product Information

My recommendation would be to sit down and think carefully about what you want to grow on your allotment or in your garden. Inside the polytunnel but also outside.

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.Whether you’re new to gardening or a seasoned pro, for in-ground growing with the protection of a PE cover, choose the VonHaus Polytunnel Greenhouse . If you want to overwinter slightly tender plants, your space needs will be smaller than if you want to extend your growing season, grow summer crops such as tomatoes or grow more exotic plants. To prevent the cover coming off in strong winds, you have to either fix it to the frame or use the trenching method, whereby you bury the edges of the cover in the soil.

Heavy Duty PE Cover – features extra-long sides for weighting and anchoring. It protects against harsh weather conditions – including frost and damaging UV. Another problem that can occur in a polytunnel is moister build up. Condensation can create the perfect environment for fungal diseases, which love damp, warm conditions. If the location of your garden or allotment polytunnel is especially exposed, you can look into reinforcing your polytunnel with wood, even if the polytunnel itself does not come with this feature. We were relieved to find that constructing the polytunnel was relatively straightforward. There were a few bits that looked easier than they were, but also quite a few things we were dreading (like putting on the cover) that actually turned out to be pretty easy. HEAVY DUTY POLYTUNNEL COVER: As well as superior framework our covers are 140gsm and the UPVC cover will let ample UV light in whilst also being expected to last a number of season in the British climate. There is ample skirt material around the bottom of the polytunnel cover to be dug into the ground for additional stability.This specialist structure is designed to help create the ideal environment for your plants, flowers and vegetables to thrive. Some people will recommend to go as big as your space allows, but if you then don’t use all the space in the polytunnel, you might regret this. Another consideration you should take into account is whether you are planning to heat your polytunnel or not. While the First Tunnels polytunnel is not the cheapest, it is well worth the money. You will get the polytunnel that suits your allotment and your growing needs. Also, make sure that the cover is pulled taut over the frame. This will prevent the wind from being able to get under flappy bits and cause damage.
