When looking round at purchasing a polytunnel they come in all different sizes but then they come in all different prices. You can purchase a cheap polytunnel from £40 all the way into the thousands.
The thing about investing in a polytunnel is you get what you pay for!
When purchasing a polytunnel I would always say invest wisely as I’ve seen lots of people purchase cheap polytunnels for there allotments once they have got a plot and come winter they have been destroyed by the wind or the plastic has split on them.
I would definitely recommend saving up for a year and purchasing a high quality named branded polytunnel which will probably set you back about £500. I did this and it’s still going strong in it’s 10th year.
The more costly ones are strong and sturdy – made out of steel and has wooden supports. This will hold down when it does come to winter. You certainly wont be looking in your neighbours plots for your polytunnel after it has taken off and blown away.
Don’t always go for a cheap polytunnel!
