mackem 23,978 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Save your cash and buy a decent one,try and get a model with louvre ventilation and depending upon your crop think about fitting an extractor fan,I have grown in a few poly-tunnels,I always fit a 24 inch extractor as a matter of course,nothing worse than mould.

jasper65 6 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 the wife got hers from this place Bull a good few years back in the pictures shown in the old house. since then she's added a extra ring to it and extended it a bit, it used to be 15 x 10 in the picture and now 20 x 10. I know she contacted a few companies but these did the best deal, its also pretty well made and built to last First Tunnels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
