Polydome Ltd, Birr, County Offaly, R42 VX36 Polytunnel 2.5m x 10m
At only 2.5m wide this Polytunnel can suit a starting Polytunnel or one for the kids. Made with the same high quality materials as all our Hobby Polytunnels, the shelter it provides protects plants from the ravages of the weather and promotes rapid and healthy growth. This Polytunnel has nice straight sides so you have maximum use of the room inside.
Please note when sizing a plot of ground for a Polytunnel we recommend you add at least 3m to the width of the Polytunnel and 3m to the length. See more detail in the Siting and Preparation section.
When sizing a Polytunnel for a plot of ground we would recommend you add at least 3m to the width of the Polytunnel and 4m to the length. This is for room to dig trenches, avoid snagging your cover on obstacles, good ventilation, room for hinged doors to open etc.
If you really need to economise on space, opting for Sliding Doors (rather than hinging doors) and an aluminium cladding rail will reduce the space needed too – but ventilation will be restricted if you don’t have much room at your gables (between the Polytunnel and walls or tall plants etc.).
Avoid siting below trees as the run off water from them will make the tunnel very dirty regularly and the tunnel may well be damaged from time to time by debris falling from the tree in storms.
The best orientation for strength is to face your gable end towards the prevailing wind, if you have a slope on the site run the length of the tunnel down the slope.
If installing the Polytunnel on soil – the foundation tubes normally go into the ground to a depth of 60cm. Make sure if you have any pipes or cables crossing the site to mark their exact position and know the exact depth of them so that when building your Polytunnel they are not damaged.
