FeelGoodUK PT3 Replacement 3 x 2 x 2m Cover For Polytunnel Garden Greenhouse

Product Information

Grow a variety of flowers, plants and vegetables in this 3x2 metre polytunnel by Garden Grow. Constructed using powder coated steel frames covered with a waterproof PE protector, this polytunnel is durable and easy to construct. If you have a wooden base then screw it to the ground using long planks of wood around the edges. Roll the canvas in the wood, this will create loads of strength, pull the cover taunt reducing the damage on poles in combination with hot spot tape – what’s that you’re wondering? Coming next: Hot-spot tape

This green 47% shade net is ideal to be used on a polytunnel with or without a polythene cover in place. Used on its own a net cover provides shade, full ventilation, significant reduction in wind speeds, and still allows rainwater to filter through to the plants. It also provides excellent crop protection from birds and insects. These handy tips are more than enough to see you through a simply install but a further bonus is to have a cordless drill and impact driver with the correct size hexagonal bit for the nut – normally 8-12mm that I’ve seen in my experience assembling these kits. Space – height not just surface area is key Placed over a polytunnel plastic, the net provides shade and significantly reduces the temperature inside. Ventilation – Although the main point of your polytunnel is to create a micro-environment for your plants to thrive in, you are going to need some ventilation from the great outdoors. This will help to reduce moisture levels, overheating and improve air flow into your tunnel. This is sometimes achieved with vents low down on the sides of your tunnel or openings at either end.Our final product is the VOUNOT polytunnel greenhouse, another absolute beast of a polytunnel which is incredibly similar to the huge VonHaus polytunnel described above. In terms of assembly it’s just like any other polytunnel, loosely tighten your bolts, get a hand with the canvas – don’t do this on a windy day and if you do please send me the video for entertainment 😀 Then once the canvas reasonably in place it’s time to then tighten it all up and slide the canvas around with minor adjustments. There area few key factors in ensuring your polytunnel stays still, even in a serious gale there shouldn’t be much reason to fear, though if you’ve already got one you do question at home, I hope the polytunnel is holding up 😀 – still, let’s look at how to fix one in properly and make sure it never blows away – and if it does, your neighbouring polytunnels went long before yours! So here’s some tips to hold polytunnel down here: Hot spot tape is going to really reduce tears like this on the corners of the frames in particular that you can see on the Garden Point– don’t panic though it’s far from over. This one is old and has lasted very very well indeed. I couldn’t recommend it to people enough at the price… Garden Point Green Polytunnel needs hot spot tape If you want you can re-stitch that, I just don’t think the aesthetics is anything to worry about at all and so duct tape is the solution. The real solution after that though is hot spot tape. What is hot spot tape? Basically it’s a foam tape that reduces the stress between the metal pole and canvas. The softer edge means when the window blows it’s much less likely to become a problem with damaged corners – and that’s where it always starts.

Naturally, it is this part of the polytunnel which is the most exposed to the elements, so it is essential that the plastic used is waterproof and tear proof (hard to find) – in case the weather gets a little too wild. Likewise, any windows or doors which are built into the polytunnel must be fully sealable, otherwise you might have leakage issues. Price You’ve got your 6 roll up vents, they are definitely needed along with opening the door on the hottest Summer days, overall this is a real bargain. Pros: And what with the laws about glazing down the allotment now, these are in hot demand seeing as they cost much less money than a greenhouse with polycarbonate glazing. Polytunnel – an allotment necessity To start our review off, we will take a look at the Outsunny polytunnel, the smallest and consequently cheapest product on our list. Unlike the products which we will later go on to look at, the Outsunny polytunnel boasts a wide and low design – so low that you can’t actually get inside the tunnel, which is exactly why it ranks at the bottom of our list. However, don’t be discouraged – this does not have to be a dealbreaker, it is simply a unique design feature of the product which will put some users off, but will likewise draw others in.Perfect to keep young plants protected during harsher conditions, this polytunnel is supplied with high-quality, durable, metal pegs to ensure it’s always secure to the ground. If you decide that your crops are ready to face the weather alone, simply move the lightweight tunnel to your next crop or deconstruct with ease for use again next season. Constructed using powder coated steel frames covered with a waterproof PE protector, this polytunnel is durable and easy to construct. Supplied with high-quality, durable, metal pegs to ensure it’s always secure to the ground. If you decide that your crops are ready to face the weather alone, simply move the lightweight tunnel to your next crop or deconstruct with ease for use again next season. Measuring 3-metres in length and 2-metres in width, this tunnel has plenty of room to grow a variety of crops. To compliment your polytunnel we also offer a range of powder coated wire shelving units and seedling trays.

After framework, the next most important consideration is the quality of the plastic cover – this is the very first thing that goes or gets ripped, always. In fact, one I had deliverd had a rip by the zip – if I am honest, overall I was happy so I didn’t return it: A polytunnel I bought and tested just recently had a rip in the seam from new!

So how is this beast constructed? Good question. The frame comes in four huge hoops with one swinging door at the front of the tunnel. The frame is made from a rust-resistant tubular steel, powder coated to enhance the frame’s overall strength and extend its lifespan. Unlike the other polytunnels we have looked at so far in this review, the VonHaus polytunnel frame is connected by screws and bolts and not plastic attachments. This feature works hard to reassure me of the sturdiness of the polytunnel, however it does of course make constructing the product that little bit harder. Despite saying this, with all of the assembly parts included, in addition to clear instructions to help the user, the assembly of this product is surprisingly easier than you would expect – plus once you’re done assembling the tent you will have a structure the size of a shed, so the assembly process is bound to be a little longer than that of VonHaus’ smaller counterpart polytunnel.

In general, you will find that polytunnels are arched in design (like a tunnel) – the purpose of this design is to allow them to be more windproof and aerodynamic so that they are not as battered by the Great British weather! However, there are downsides to this design, as you are going to have the “wasted” space towards the base of the arch to consider. Your other option is a more rectangular design with straight sides which is obviously going to eliminate this issue of headroom and wasted space. But, you are going to need to make sure that your polytunnel is well protected from the wind and has a strong enough build design to combat this! The competition is tight, but price tends to be the decider so, in my humble opinion, the VOUNOT polytunnel is the best polytunnel on the UK market in 2021.

Temperature control for during those summer months is also important. Obviously part of the reason you will be purchasing your polytunnel is for it to absorb some of the heat from the sun to keep your plants warm, but during particularly warm summers this can actually make it too warm in your polytunnel – making it unpleasant both for you and your plants! Some of the best polytunnels actually have temperature control technology for over those summer months to reduce the extreme temperatures that can develop! Assembly Our 3x2m polytunnel will make a suitable alternative to a solid structure to house birds during the Avian Flu outbreak. Our tunnel allows adequate light and ventilation and will help offer protection from wild birds that may be carrying the disease. HEAVY DUTY POLYTUNNEL COVER: As well as superior framework our covers are 140gsm and the UPVC cover will let ample UV light in whilst also being expected to last a number of season in the British climate. There is ample skirt material around the bottom of the polytunnel cover to be dug into the ground for additional stability. Perfect to keep young plants protected during harsher conditions and to grow a variety of flowers, plants and vegetables. It features double stitched seams for maximum durability and has a double zip door that can be rolled up for easy access. There are also netted windows to ensure the temperature within the greenhouse can be controlled. These windows can also be covered by rolling down the PE covers.
