Poly Tunnel

Have been looking at polytunnels , or the material the skin is made from.
and would appreciate a little advice please.

there are the clear ones, the tinted ones, and one that has a string reinforcement in the plastic sheet.

I guess these with string would be the strongest, but am I right?

 

Yes, and No.

The green, mesh reinforced covers on cheap tunnels (up to about 3 x 6m) can fail after just one year, but might just struggle on for 2 or 3 years.

Clear covers on the likes of Wilkos mini-greenhouses or cheapo, small tunnels wont last very long.

Proper clear (or opaque) polytunnel covering, as used on larger, full size tunnels, will last for many years.

 

Many thanks for the info, saved me wasting money.
