But I shops around a lot iad it seemed to be the best priced one about :-\. Arrived yesterday my dad says that it lookes to be very good quality ;D. I have already bought another one a Friends grandad cannot cope with both of his green houses any more so I have bought a 6 by 8 foot greenhouse of him for the Lotty (the Polly tunnel is going in my garden) for £30. First tunnel included a free book on the use of Polly tunnels and the instructions look extensive but are very well written ;D even I could understand them :-\ and i usually have problems with instructions :-[
going to hopfully grow toms, peppers, chillies, pumkins and get all my seeds off to an early start ;D

word of warning, dont grow a squash inside a tunnel they take over.

you will have fun with a tunnel its also a great place to hide when the april showers start very warm in the summer, its like having a sauna 8) have fun!.
