Swim Spa Enclosures
08 August 2007
Like many pool owners Mr & Mrs F.... have made a substantial investment but were unable to enjoy it due to this year's adverse weather conditions. To solve the problem they bought a Solar Tunnel in the Elegant range with straight sides and white reinforced mesh covers. In addition they should also save a lot in heating and cleaning and have the option to swim every day of the year. At a small fraction of the initial cost it now has the combined benefits of an indoor and an outdoor pool. 
Cutomers STAR Pictures
07 June 2007
We like to receive digital pictures of Solar Tunnels in Action or Recreation such as this one on the edge of the South Atlantic Ocean. No prizes for guessing which one is being replaced or whether it will be another from the Splendid range!
New Double Span Serralux
03 February 2007
We are always pleased to be assosciated with projects for those with learning difficulties.
In particular we thank the Perlins Project for choosing a double span 6m x 6m Serralux with 8mm polycarbonate glazing for a large amount of growing space with inbuilt safety & insulation.
This replaces an old glass house and marks the start of a new phase where each grower is responsible for produceing crops for sale to the local community. We look forward to posting further updates as this exciting project progresses.
Growing out of Trouble
20 January 2007
Solar Tunnels were delighted to supply a 7m wide x 12m tunnel for this recent TV series where Monty led the project for rehabilitation and gave hope to many with this innovative scheme. We wish success to all concerned and hope that this will inspire others to discover the benefits of horticulture.
Solar Tunnels to Antarctica?
18 January 2007
Well not quite, but the last outpost on the way. There are now several Solar Tunnels in the Falkland Islands. We sent one there three years ago and since then the numbers have grown almost entirely by recommendation. It is surprising how many islanders have bought TWO either at the same time or a year or 2 later.
