DURABILITY When it comes to longevity, there isn’t much of a difference between greenhouses and polytunnels. Both types can last for many years. Polytunnels can serve you well between 15-20 years but the covers need to be replaced on average every 5 years. If you take good care of your polytunnel cover or greenhouse, you can expect it to serve you for many years to come.

Advantages of Polytunnels Polytunnels are a budget-friendly option. They are flexible structures and can offer more growing space. They can be modified to incorporate various additional features to achieve a specific purpose, such as widening the doors or expanding the plant beds. There is a possibility to increase the interior space. Disadvantages of Polytunnels Susceptible to strong winds, we recommend concreting the feet of greenhouse. Polytunnels are prone to damage, caused by aggressive pets and birds, which is why we offer repair and maintenance services. If the sheeting is not straight and tightened properly, condensation can build up and harm the plants, as high humidity levels promote mould growth. We therefore offer quality installation services to prevent this. Covers need to be replaced every 5-10 years. Polytunnels are harder to fit with a rainwater collection system.

Common products to grow in a greenhouse include Fruits: Strawberries – Mix in some compost with the soil before you plant them. Raspberries – Add mulch to the soil to keep it moisturised. Melons – They like humid conditions and fertilised soil. Vegetables: Tomatoes – Boost the soil by adding organic matter to it before planting. Cucumbers – Create a vertical structure to allow the crops to grow in a polytunnel. Artichokes – They thrive well thanks to the warmth and humidity that polytunnels create. Herbs: Rosemary – grows well in warm conditions and does not need frequent watering. Oregano – helps soil retain moisture. Basil, Thyme, Chives – repel various pests and protect the crops around them. Trees: Peach – polytunnels protect them from frost and birds that like their fruits. Apricot – need some extra heating. Citrus (Lemon, Orange, Lime, Grapefruit) – Polytunnels retain the ideal temperature for them to thrive in the winter months. Flowers: Tulips, Sweet Peas, Foxgloves, Lupins – attract bees, pollinators and other beneficial insects. and much more...

The potential polytunnel profit per square foot depends on the type of crops you’ll be planting in there. Polytunnel vegetables like lettuce have up to $20 potential profit per square foot annually. Speciality plants can reach greater rates. One 6mx12m polytunnel could generate $15- 20,000AUD a year.

It is important to take the time planning your layout on paper before you create it. Ensure you allow enough space to move easily around with trays, wheelbarrows and tools to ensure a comfortable growing experience. Map out where you want to place seedlings. Add an area for storage space where you can stash your tools and pots. Find a spot for your hanging baskets. Whatever the size or purpose behind your polytunnel, you will find that there are some desirable accessories and some essentials that you will need to produce a successful harvest, such as raised beds, staging, hanging baskets and grow bags. Whether you have raised beds or staging will depend upon the condition of the soil you are using as well as the type of crops you are planting. Raised Beds If you want to add some raised beds, there are plenty of easy-to-build ones available that come in a selection of sizes designed to suit an array of crops. These are an ideal choice if you want to incorporate a different type of soil into your garden and allows you to concentrate one area on one type of plant, fruit or veg. Staging and benches Staging is ideal if you want to maximise the space you have as this lets you create levels. These levels allow you to plan out where you want to sow. For example, you may want to dedicate one tier to one type of vegetable so that it gets maximum light, while the plants below may not require as much light, so you can use the staging to block out the light for those. Trestle staging is also particularly useful as you can easily move your benches around to suit. Polytunnel Pathways Once you have plotted out where you want to place your staging, raised beds, pots and other features, it is time to look at the floor. When planning how many paths you will need, it is important to remember to leave some room to manoeuvre between crops. Generally you will have one or two paths. Smaller polytunnels generally have the room for one central path, while those tunnels greater than 10ft wide allow for the use of a double path system with crops growing in central beds and on each side of the polytunnel. The aim is to maximise growing space, so keep this in mind when planning the width of the paths, ensuring you maintain a comfortable working space and access for wheelbarrows and wheelchairs. Change It Up While some aspects of your polytunnel layout are likely to be fixed unless you take things out and start again, there are plenty of additions and changes you can make as you go along. Try moving hanging baskets around, re-thinking where you place the trestle staging bench and re-jigging your raised beds to make the most of the space you have. Whatever way you choose to set out your polytunnel, you are sure to grow some spectacular crops if you plan your layout carefully.

Polytunnels offer much better control over air circulation compared to greenhouses. The large side ventilation panel on both sides provide sufficient airflow through the tunnel. With your polytunnel, there is no risk of bugs or insects getting inside your plantation, as each side is covered with insect nets. This will allow you maximum control of your climate and guaranteeing bugs and pests to stay away from your crops.

Yes. We are here to support you every step of the way, keeping spare parts available separately to our customers. If the time to fix part of your greenhouse has come, we will be able to assist you the best we can.

Warranty applies on both our structures and covers. We will always offer to replace parts for any minor damage to structures. If a major technical issue is identified and it’s due to the material supplied (not because of external factors, like extreme weather or aggressive use of the structure) we will consider exchange or refunds. It is a case-by-case scenario, and each situation will be treated with the utmost care.
