Product Information

The polytunnels on our list are all moderately priced, so you should find one that suits your budget. Do Polytunnels Need Ventilation? Another consideration you should take into account is whether you are planning to heat your polytunnel or not. You want to make sure your polytunnel has a metal frame. The best polytunnels for an allotment or garden will have a frame made of galvanised steel, which is a very strong material. Some people will recommend to go as big as your space allows, but if you then don’t use all the space in the polytunnel, you might regret this. As mentioned above, look for additional measures to strengthen the frame such as storm bars. This will ensure your frame is as strong as possible.

PLANT PRIORITY: A strip window runs down one side and is fitted with mesh to keep bugs out whilst allowing ventilation, a clever feature allows the plastic flap to be clipped up creating a water catcher which funnels water to the end allowing you to place a water butt under it. To be able to use the trenching method, the cover needs to be big enough, so look out for any mention that the polytunnel is suitable for this method.If your budget won’t stretch to a cover that has these special features, then the next point is even more important, ventilation. Ventilation Ventilation is one of the most important things when it comes to a polytunnel. Because of the way a polytunnel works, moister build up is a common occurrence.

If you know that it will have to withstand strong winds, you also want to make sure that you secure it as much as possible. This includes strengthening its structure by adding crop bars and storm bracing. And once a plant has been infected, there is, most of the time, no cure. All you can do is remove the infected plant. However, during summer, a polytunnel can heat up quite a bit during the day. And while many plants, such as tomatoes, love it warm, if it gets too hot, they might not do very well.
