 About UsRobinson Polytunnels are manufacturers and suppliers of polytunnels and fruit cages throughout the UK. We are based in Lancashire, close to the Pennines, an area where crop protection from the typical rainy weather is essential.
Stuart Robinson, the company founder, has many years experience in the design of polytunnels and was employed at Northern Polytunnels for 13 years, predominantly in the role of Technical Manager. His expertise, coupled with post-graduate study in Structural Steel Design, has enabled Robinson Polytunnels to take the best features of "commercial" polytunnels and make them available to the keen amateur in our optimal designed polytunnel range. |
 | Made To Last Our polytunnels are built to last. We use high-strength (Z35) pre-galvanised steel for the hoops, ridge tubes, corner struts and crop/tie bars. For our ranges of 6ft, 8ft, 10ft and 12ft spans we use 25.4mm diameter tube. The foundation tubes are made from heavily galvanised thick-wall tube to ensure that they cope well with the particularly corrosive environment encountered in wet ground.
We supply timber for the polytunnel end frames, base rails and side rails, 3" x 1 ½" tanalith treated. The battens are also tanalith treated 1 ½" x ¾" - more substantial than many of our competitors use and essential to hold your cover securely in place.
New from July 2010, most of our polytunnel and fruit cage fittings are now galvanised instead of electro-plated. Not quite as shiny-smooth but much improved protection against corrosion. Just one more of the steps we've taken to ensure your polytunnel or fruit cage lasts as long as possible. |

We also supply Fruit Cage Kits which are made from the same high-strength steel as our 'tunnels. Our Fruit Cage Fittings are "rounded" which make it easier to pull on the top netting without it snagging.
A range of accessories is available to complement your polytunnel or fruit cage. Polythene, Netting and Spare Parts are all available from stock.

 Use Your PolytunnelAt Robinson Polytunnels we're here to provide you with an opportunity to successfully grow your own fruit and vegetables. We want to supply you with one of our quality polytunnels to enable you to create the right growing environment for your valued produce. You can grow just about anything inside a polytunnel - as long as it's legal ! Tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber for a crisp fresh salad. Peppers, courgettes and basil for a summer Mediterranean dish. Melon or strawberries for a refreshing dessert. The benefits of growing under cover are obviously protection from wet and windy weather. But, your plants will also stay at a more comfortable temperature and humidity, particularly if you opt for a side ventilation kit, thus increasing the quality and quantity of your crop. With a polytunnel you also get vastly improved pest control, particularly from birds, slugs and insects.
