Pollytunnels

[robo]

Last night my pollytunnel succumbed to the gales , it was only a cheap one from Amazon so no big loss in fact I've been struggling to keep it in one piece since I first erected it about three and half years ago, I've decided to buy a better quality one something around 8x15 feet but undecided on which supplier , has anyone got any recommendations

First polytunnels or Northern polytunnels are both very good. we had a 'public' one from first on my old allotment site(first) , which stood up to 3 foot of snow in 2010. And my local farm cafe have had a northern for 20 years or so and it's still going strong.

Or there's always the diy approach. I currently have a row of pvc arches waiting for a tunnel cover...

My polytunnel is from First. 12foot by 35foot. It went up in the snowy winter of early 2004 and is still going strong.

First Tunnels for me too - partly because I can visit them for bits and pieces if needed. I did a deal based on price match - said someone else was cheaper but promised to spend any discount towards extras (sliding doors, aluminium base rails). I've just cleaned it up to start season four.

Thank you for the advice I've just ordered one from first tunnels 16 x 6 feet it's more expensive than it appears on their web site but I'm assured the price is right £390 on the web site when I try to put it in my basket to proceed to check out the price increases to £1700 and the size reduces to 8 feet long I've paid £466 but my wife does not know as yet

I would like to amend that comment about PVC arches. I now have a pile of pvc arches waiting for a cross brace to be fitted before I try putting it up again... Damn wind
