Moving into a New Garden – Where to Start?

(Your Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up the Perfect Polytunnel Greenhouse)

Starting a new garden is exciting, but without the right protection, your plants are at the mercy of weather, pests, and unpredictable seasons. A polytunnel greenhouse (also called a hoop house or tunnel greenhouse) is the most cost-effective and versatile way to extend your growing season, shield crops, and maximise yields.

In this guide, we’ll cover:

✔ How to choose the right greenhouse/polytunnel for your space

✔ Essential setup tips for beginners

✔ When to get expert advice (free greenhouse consultation!)

✔ Budget-friendly upgrades for better results

1. Assess Your Garden’s Needs

Before selecting a polytunnel kit, ask yourself:

• What will you grow? (Vegetables, flowers, or high-value crops like medicinal herbs?)

• How much space do you have? (We offer compact backyard greenhouses and large commercial tunnels.)

• What’s your climate like? (Windy? Frost-prone? Our heavy-duty greenhouses stand up to tough conditions.)

3. Must-Have Add-Ons for Better Results

Even a basic polytunnel kit can be upgraded for efficiency:

✅ Ventilation – Winding walls and insect mesh prevent overheating.

✅ Irrigation – Drip systems save water and time.

✅ Shelving & Benching – Maximise space for seedlings and pots.

4. When to Get Expert Help

A greenhouse consultation is worth it if:

• You’re growing high-value crops (e.g., cut flowers, medicinal plants).

• Your site has challenges (strong winds, uneven ground, limited space).

• You want a hassle-free setup (we handle delivery, installation, and maintenance).
