Details Of Our 6ft Span Polytunnels

With 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.

We use 25mm diameter high-strength galvanised steel tube for the polytunnel framework and the hoops are in two pieces with a swaged connection at the central ridge tube. A diagonal brace at each corner ensures stability of the structure. Timber end frames from 75 x 38mm tanalith treated timber for a long lifespan with a double-row of 38 x 19mm battens to secure the polythene. All fixings and fasteners are either galvanised or zinc plated and passivated for protection against corrosion.

The basic kit includes:
• Heavy duty galvanised ground tubes
• Galvanised high-strength steel framework
• Tanalised timber end frames
• Galvanised/electroplated fittings & fasteners
• Polythene tensioning/re-tensioning after sheeting
• Choice of polythene
