Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the structure. Smaller tunnels may take 3-5 days, while larger or custom-designed projects can take 1-4 weeks, including site preparation.

Polytunnels are versatile and support a wide range of crops, including:

• Vegetables (tomatoes, leafy greens, cucumbers)
• Fruits (berries, grapes, stone fruits)
• Flowers & ornamentals (cut flowers, nursery stock)
• Specialty crops (hemp, medicinal plants, research crops)

Regular maintenance ensures longevity and optimal performance:

• Clean covers to maintain light transmission
• Inspect frames and anchors for wear or damage
• Check ventilation and irrigation systems
• Replace UV-treated plastic every 5-7 years (depending on use)

Yes, all our commercial polytunnels meet Australian standards for wind, snow, and structural loads. We ensure compliance with local regulations and can assist with council approvals if needed.

Our tunnels are engineered for durability, with options for heavy-duty frames, reinforced frames, and wind-resistant designs to handle storms, hail, and high winds common in Australian climates.

Polytunnels are more affordable, easier to assemble, and offer excellent light diffusion, while greenhouses often have rigid walls and higher climate control precision. Polytunnels are ideal for large-scale commercial growing with lower upfront costs.

Absolutely! We design polytunnels to fit your site layout, crop needs, and automation preferences, including options for roll-up sides, shade systems, and multi-bay layouts.

Choosing the right cover for your environment is a key element to the success of your crop.

Polytunnels can receive any flexible covering. From polythene, woven, PVC or vinyl covers all flexible materials with a thickness of up to 250 microns / 9.8 mil will fit our structures. Fabric and textiles can also be used as a replacement for hot areas with no frost.

This solution will reduce the penetration of the UV and allow airflow inside the structure. However, this option reduces your capacity to control the climate inside the structure.

If your area is wet and cool during the winter, but not prone to hard frosts, you can get away with something fairly lightweight. Some light Polythene cover will be sufficient from 150 microns / 6 mils to 180 microns / 7 mil.

Observe nature around you and work with it.

Our polytunnels are highly adaptable to your requirements. Visit our section of Covers to learn more.

Absolutely! All of our polytunnels come with a 250-micron PE poly cover. However, it is possible to amend it or to request an extra set of covering/shading.

Simply contact us and tell us your requirements or visit our Covers section on the website to learn more. We will provide you with the most competitive price on the market for any type of cover.

All of our structures are guaranteed to withstand winds up to 100km/h.

However, it is important to site the location of your greenhouse correctly.

Placing your polytunnel in a suitable position is key to its success and making sure that you get as high a yield as possible.

The polytunnel will ideally be placed on a level site, out of strong winds and, of course, in full sunlight.

This may be easier to achieve on some sites than on others, but even if you are not convinced that your garden or land will be suitable, there are things that you can do to improve the environment

For example, you can protect a polytunnel from strong winds by planting a wind break to reduce the buffeting it may get in a gale and prolong the life of the plastic. You can also build a windbreak with shade cloth. Contact us for more information on ideal site locations.

One of the most important things when it comes to maintaining your polytunnel is sunlight. Sunlight allows plants to grow. Too little light and plants within your polytunnel will soon begin to suffer. Cleaning a polytunnel is also important - if you clean your polytunnel it will let more light in, to the benefit of the plants you are trying to grow.

In summer, it can be a challenge to keep the temperatures in a polytunnel at a reasonable level, since there is so much sunlight shining through the polytunnel cover. Other seasons with low light levels can be the major impediment to growing your own food.

How To Clean Your Polytunnel

Before you begin a deep clean of the inside and outside of the tunnel, it is a good idea to tidy up and clear out any old pots, labels or plant debris that might be lying around. Sweep any paths and check corners for any pests that might be hidden there.

The next job is to clean the outside of the polytunnel, which may have become dirty over time. It is important to clean the algae and other dirt (bird dropping, etc) off of the polytunnel.

A window cleaning brush or car wash brush can help you to reach the top of the polytunnel. For larger tunnels, you can create a cleaning rope (rope, with an old sheet wrapped around it) that can be pulled back and forth by two people across the top of the tunnel and used to clean the structure.

Alternatively, a high-pressure jet of water from a pressure-washer can make the job a lot easier and should be strong enough to dislodge most dirt and algae. A pressure-washer will also allow you to get into any creases where the plastic cover is folded around the ends of the polytunnel.

Once you have done this, begin cleaning the inside of the polytunnel cover. First, wipe off any algae that may have grown inside, and clean off any dirt with water on a soft brush or sponge. Once you have done this, you may already see that your polytunnel has become lighter and brighter.

Choose your site carefully. Try to avoid very exposed, windy sites if possible. If your site is very windy, consider placing a natural wind break to protect your polytunnel.

Choose additional structural elements, such as bracing and crop bars, where wind is an issue, to provide a little extra protection.

Clear foliage and branches from around your polytunnel. Make sure nothing will brush against your polytunnel that could damage or tear it. On stormy/windy days, check that no stray debris could come loose from the surrounding area and damage the structure.

Use anti-hotspot tape to protect your cover from the metal structure, which can heat up in warm weather and damage the plastic.

Clean your polytunnel cover at least every year inside and out.

Appropriate Tension: Do not allow the cover to become slack - re-tension it as required as time goes on.

If small damage does occur, repair these promptly to avoid the problem becoming worse.
