Tunnel Recommendation

Has anyone used/seen tunnels from www.propolytunnels.co.uk

They have a cracking deal offer on Facebook but I’ve not heard of them before?

Not seen one in real life. But they look pretty good from the specs they give. But I've not gone into the fine print. Only thing I would say is your probably going to have quite a lot of wasted space because they don't have vertical sides. So you can't plant right up to the edge.

I agree with SP - the sloping sides are probably great for not losing them in the wind, but you'll struggle to have plants all the way to the edge.

I'd always look for a second hand frame - you can often pick them up off the marketplace on FB or ebay for a couple of hundred quid. The plastic cover won't be more than 100 quid or so either.

Mmmm, I’m not too keen on a second hand frame. In my past experiences something like this is bound to have rusty / broken / missing parts, and things never go back together so easily.

The sloping sides aren't too much of a problem. I've strung a taut wire between the front and back wooden door posts and am growing melons up a cane that goes into the soil at the edge of the poly and ties into the wire. Makes the most of the space
