Better instructions needed Friday, 12 March 2021 | Sheila
My husband is great at constructing things, but this polytunnel has frustrated him. The instructions are far from clear and he's had to resort to YouTube to find things out.
It would also be great to have the option to hang the door to open either way.
Having said that, the frame is well made and generally went together well (one bolt was faulty but luckily he had something similar in the garage). We're looking forward to filling it with veg plants as soon as the weather warms up a little

Has stood up against the last 4 yrs of storms, recommend without hesitation = 5 star Thursday, 11 March 2021 | Clive
This was bought to replace one of those poly tunnels with a zipped door at each end. Having been up 3months, a south westerly wind ripped the closed zipped door completely off one end, scattering runner bean plants everywhere. A search on Google came up with this one, big plus, a hinged door and no zips. Erected frame (slight problem with door but replaced next day), covered erected frame with anti hotspot tape (essential), then in a slight wind, put the cover on by myself. The frame is mounted on Gravel Board, because the spot is so exposed to north westerly gales, there is a 3"x3" post sunk 24" in the ground at each corner that comes uop to the middle bar, the frame sits in a 22mm pipe clip and each corner post is screwed to the wooden post.
4 hard winters, powerful gales and lashing rain, hot sunny days, the cover might look a bit tight in places, but the briliant idea of velcro fastening makes it easy to adjust and the taped frame hasn't caused any hotspot weakening. About to move allotment plots, taking tunnel with me, the intention being to unscrew from posts and board leaving the cover on, then 6 of us carry down to the new base 500 yds away. Have no worries that the cover will last another year, but will buy a spare ready for next winter.

On 4th year and still going strong Thursday, 4 June 2020 | Steve
We have had this polytunnel for 4 years at our allotment and it is still going strong. The sides are buried in the ground and the corners have additional stakes in the ground and attached to the frame by duck tape. The cover is still in one piece with no holes apart from a few gaps in the net ventilation. The door came off in one of the gales over the last winter, but apart from bending still fits well. I have purchased a new cover but did not need to use it this year. Overall we are very happy with this tunnel, it could perhaps do with some better ventilation but the plants don't seem to complain too much. It has stood in place whilst other polytunnels at the allotment have come and gone.

Very happy with this product, delivered promptly despite lock down , so easy to construct with spring button joints. Lots of space , strong and study although time will tell but seems well made.
I have used spiral tether pegs as well as the straight ground pegs .
Brilliant to have the door , much better than expected all round . Would definitely recommend.

Fast delivery. We bought the 10′ tunnel for our allotment & are really happy with it. Strong construction & folding rain catcher window is a great idea. Will be purchasing another at some point. Thanks guys.

Bought the 4m long version of this last year, was easy to erect, definetly needs the hotspot tape.
Had some very strong winds and storms here over the last 12 months and the polytunnel is still sturdy and anchored to the soil using bent rebar anchors.
Only thing i would change is to have another set of screens down the side where the rain gutter is (to improve air flow) instead as the rain gutter is too low to be of any real use.

Excellent polytunnel and very fast delivery . Many people are commenting on how excellent it is and I have recommended you to neighbours and friends who have asked where I got it so I believe you should be getting more orders to the Oban area. My vegetable are growing a treat. Thank you I am having great fun.
