Title: water tubing for small polytunnel
Post by: ruffmeister on April 17, 2007, 13:13:37
always see these down on other peoples plots and wonder where you can buy the blue water tubing which can be used to create a small poly tunnell, anyone know, everyone on our site says that they were already on thier plot when they took it over.

any help greatly appreciated

All depends upon how much you want.

This is the cheapest I have found for 50 metres.

you have to add postage as well unless you want anything else.

ruffmeister, just ask for 25mm MDPE water pipe or sometimes known as Alkathene pipe or even plain old underground plastic pipe.

This pipe comes in quite a few sizes but the 25mm is most common there for usually cheaper.
