Hi all

I am thinking of getting the below poly tunnel. I realise it is a 'blowaway' model but as I have a very handy other half I plan on putting him to good use

My plan is to use the supplied cover for the remainder of this season and hopefully next season then replace it end of next summer.

Also has anyone purchased from this company before?

12.3ft Garden Polytunnel Greenhouse ( 3.75m x 2m x 2m ) Galvanised Frame

Thanks for your thoughts and opinions

I have one and am as pleased as punch with it, I made a proper door for mine cos those zips are a pain, also that price at £59) is amazing. Not only could you recover it when the original goes but you could also make it into a brilliant fruit cage using mesh. I got mine cheap (£50) because it had a broken zip but the retail on it was £90.. Make sure it is very well anchored to the ground.

Hi Mumbles

That looks to be the same make as mine, but mine is the 8' x 6' version and I paid £42 for it from Eb*y. - you can see it in most of my You Tube videos.

They can be stronger than they look - mine survived the winter quite well until the spring storms, but even then I have managed to get it all back together, and it has been a god-send both last season and this.

The only problem with mine now is that the floor floods when it rains hard - but that's down to my placement and not the tunnel's fault at all.

I would recommend them as long as you can get them fastened down securely enough.

Yep, I agree with Bill. I also have the same one.....Great price, make sure it's got extra bracing & anchor it down. I also made half gates so I could shut the gates & roll the top half up................I feel like a parrot............

thanks guys

How have you anchored yours? I was planning on digging a trench 1 spit down to put the frame in. (Getting OH to do something to anchor the frame a bit more maybe) adding the cover and then filling and firming the trench.

Get your OH to bray some stakes into the ground & secure the kite to the stakes with pipe clips.

Hi Mumbles, is this current stock? Couldn't help noticing the 'grow your own in 2013' sentence. Maybe worth a check before sending any cash?

[Mumbles]

Yeah I have checked it is still available and all is good, it's just the same product they had in 2013
