I don't have a tunnel but looked at them before I bought the greenhouse, I think crop bars are what you are looking for - they go across the hoops so you can put in longitudinal wires.

I did see crop bars on the list of accessories and wonder if that was what they were. I suppose they must be strong enough......

The planning department told us that we need planning permission though I suspect we could just have built it and they wouldn't have known.

Anyway the form has gone in and we should hear within the month.

I have crop bars, and yes they are strong enough, but they only fit the intermediate bars (ie not to the end) so you cant fit wires all the way. So in my case with a 15ft P/T the crop bar spacing is only 5ft. Hope that makes sense?

Hi heyjude, I realise my posting has gone right off the point, but this link might help http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/englan ... 33153.html
As i understand it you dont need planning permission for p/t of 15 sq metres (as mine is) and normally wont for 15-30 sqm. no doubt someone out there can confirm/clarify.
