Poly Tunnels & Fleece Tunnels

Poly tunnels are made using polythene. They are used to assist the growth of plants, especially those which require and thrive at higher temperatures and levels of humidity. They work in a similar way to a greenhouse but are a cheaper and lighter weight alternative.

Fleece tunnels work in the same way as a polytunnel whilst still allowing water and sunlight to filter through and benefit the plants within. Plants thrive from the constant temperatures and atmosphere thus allowing them to maintain a faster rate of growth.

Additional benefits of poly/fleece tunnels are their protective qualities. Tunnels prevent frost damage to your plants which can be caused as a result freezing temperatures throughout the winter and spring months. In addition during the the sumer months, the tunnels will act as a barrier from the intense sunlight and reduce the numbers of pests which thrive in the warmer summer temperatures.

Not only are poly tunnels and fleece tunnels simple to erect, but the can also be easily stored away when not in use.
