 Our 6ft Wide PolytunnelWith a straight side of approximately 1.15m (45") before the curve starts, our 6ft span polytunnel is not short of room at the sides. This is a polytunnel that can adequately cope with a row of cane-supported tomato plants along each side. With our specially designed cranked corner braces, we make sure every bit of space is useable, especially important on this size of polytunnel.
Features of our polytunnels include: Heavy duty galvanised foundation tubes Galvanised high-strength steel framework Tanalised timber end frames Galvanised/electroplated fittings & fasteners Polythene tensioning/re-tensioning after sheeting Choice of polythene
