    Hi does anyone have any experience with this company/polytunnel? Thinking of getting one and is it just to cheap to last? I don't want to spend big money as I only want to sow handy things like steawberrys tomatoes ,a few bags of early spudz lettuce spring onion and some flowers.

    3x2 m is too small to grow spuds, in fact I would say that polytunnel won't last 2 years unless its in a very sheltered spot.

    Sorry I meant in bags, presumed it would be small for normal drills. I've just been informed from my grandfather that I could have his as he is not going to use it anymore, in his 80's now. This one is 20x15 and has 30mm tubing with angled supports and the whole lot. I have loads of room for it but it seems very big. It will only be a hobby and bit of a past time so not sure on going that big.

    Don't put the whole thing up so ! They're kind of in sections so you can put up as many or as few sections as you like --

    I've decided to go with the 20x15 tunnel and put it up and cover it myself, been reading this http://www.inthemarket.ie/polytunnel-galvanised-10-x-7ft/. Is it as simple as it says? It says not to put on plastic unless there's sun and heat, at that rate I have no point in erecting it until May. I'd rather be using it earlier like march at least.
