Not cheap compared to`traditional` tunnels but I`m only now replacing the cover after around 14? years

I also use First Tunnels and find it worth its weight in gold.

thank you just have to measure and decide which to chose, we were granted an o2 Community award, for this and some heritage fruit trees. This wil make a real difference to the site and benefit us all.  We will extend growing season and the help from O2 is wonderful  :). We also have received nearly £4000 from E'on to finish fencing so the tunnel will go up after that.

we bought a 40x12 polytunnel from northern polytunnels last year, a communal one, we've already had 3 private ones from the same firm, very friendly, everything included, doors made, 2 each end, it's working well  ;D

I've just bought two smallish ones from Citadel polytunnels.  Cheaper than First and they delivered over a week earlier than they said which enabled me to put them up over Easter.

They were very friendly and helpful and the instructions for putting the tunnels up were really straightforward and easy to follow.
