Benefits

Advantages Over Polythene

1. Great Looks: At last a green polytunnel that blends into the countryside or garden.
2. Safety: No more flying glass risk to animals, children and adults.
3. Robust: Strong heavy galvanised steel framework. 1.5m modules with extra steel supports along the full length of roof and base.
4. Tough: Factory-made covers with tear-resistant nylon mesh between two layers of polythene.
5. Spacious: Straight sides and high eaves give extra room and air for plants and growers.
6. Practical: Easy access and ventilation control with wide steel-framed doors each end.
7. Ease of assembly: Can be completed as a weekend project.
8. Relocatable: Easy to move to a new site.
9. Versatile: Many uses include horticulture, pool enclosures, storage, animal housing, etc.
10. Flexible: If more growing space is needed... simply add more modules.
11. Insulation: Extends the growing season by two or three months. The double-layer effect creates a micro-climate. Less extreme conditions than single sheets of glass or polythene.
12. Options: E.g. height-adjustable staging fixes to frame. External shade netting easily fitted. Single / double sliding doors etc.
