    Hi all I am in the middle of landscaping my back garden and I have quite a few frost tender plants in the garden and I have been thinking about protecting them in the winter and thought would it be possible to get a polly tunnel made that would cover my whole garden in the winter if anyone knows of a company that would be able to help me I would be very great full .

    If not then I will have to move them in to the conservatory over the winter but bringing a ten foot tall tree fern inside may be a bit tricky tho !!!!!

    Poly tunnel won't keep the temperature up, by itself, although it will keep the cold/drying wind off the plants.

    What sort of frost tender plants do you have, and how big are they?

    (If you could put your location in your profile that would also help :) )
