Here's one that I made myself out of blue water pipe & debris netting.

WalkinWonderwall

Its great as I can grow anything that's attacked by insects including leeks, onions and carrots and all types of Brassicas. The mesh isn't mega fine for the really small insects like the carrot fly but what they recommend is using fleece along the inside walls to keep out the carrot fly. As for standing up to the weather they have sold these to the Falklands and if anything can survive the Falklands weather it wont have a problem with the UK weather. Also if your worried about snow you can remove the roof section and put in netting from your garden center in the winter to keep out the Pigeons and let in the snow. Hope for it to last at least 10 years with care hopefully longer. As its totally portable as I rotate my crops over 3 beds it totally ideal best purchase I have ever made.

Wonder wall is great

I got a wonder wall a couple of months ago and I'm really pleased with it.I haven't got the expertise to build this kind of thing myself and so it suited me to spend some money and have everything there.Everyone who has seen it thinks it's great.Its very sturdy and hasn't moved at all in the wind.Im looking forward to having crops that are not massacred this year.

My lotty neighbour has one. He's reinforced the poles with really stout ones, but still, the wind damages it a few times a year.
It's a good thing on the whole, but you will still get the odd cabbage white finding its way inside.

So tempted to buy one of these just can't justify the price and not sure if it will be worth it in the long run :/

Hi Mark, I amended the Polytunnels & the Tomatoes are growing a lot faster & stronger since doing it:

oooh wow they look good, was thinking of buying another polytunnel and doing it like that but they work out to be expensive aswell. Just afraid that everytime I put something in with a net, weeds grow round and through it and I never seem to be able to get them up without ruining the net so the same would happen blue water pipe and net will just have to stay for now til I get my big job (hopefully in the future)

I did exactly the same with a greenhouse I picked up on freecycle. There wasn't enough glazing for the roof so I netted it..............The plants seem to love the microclimate.
