    Hello,
    Interested in polyttunnel temperature in this heatwave. Highest I've recorded in mine is 49.2°C . Doors open both ends but no draught going through

    Yea.
    We were away for a few days there and my brother closed one end door by mistake, but it was ok.

    Temps are hitting 45-50 when the air is still.

    Also had a problem with the irrigation system while I was away, the hose feeding the tunnel softened with the heat, popped out of the fitting and ran out on the ground, tripped off the pump. Luckily I was home before everything dried out and sorted the problem.

    sure they grow tomatoes in the south of spain in polytunnels in higher temps than this, i'm sure they'll be fine.
