This Direct Plants Polytunnel Kit is designed for gardeners seeking to extend their growing season and protect crops with a spacious and durable structure. Its key benefit is the robust, straight-sided design offering maximum usable height and excellent weather resistance, allowing for diverse plant cultivation. A minor consideration is that timber for doors and battens is not included, requiring a separate purchase for full functionality.

All fixings and clamps are made from high-quality cast iron and galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461 standards for superior corrosion resistance.
The XL Horticulture SunMaster Polythene Cover has an expected lifespan of 7-10 years under normal conditions.
No, if not purchased directly, you will require timber for 2 doors and 2 door frames, plus smaller 2”x1” timber battens for clamping polythene to your doors and door frames.
The frame comes with a 5-Year Guarantee. The Polythene Cover has a 1-Year Guarantee.
It is recommended to install the polytunnel on a level surface for optimal stability and tensioning of the polythene cover. You may need to level the ground before installation.
The straight-sided design maximizes the usable internal height, providing more headroom and space for taller plants, while also contributing to the structure's aerodynamics and strength.
After the polythene is attached, you can lift each hoop inside the galvanised heavy-duty steel ground/foundation tubes. This process allows you to achieve optimal tension for the polythene cover, enhancing its longevity and performance.
The kit includes a full-colour instruction manual with photos, and you can receive email or phone support from experienced Polytunnel Experts.
Ensure the ground tubes are properly installed and that the hoops can be lifted within them. Re-tension the polythene by lifting the hoops and re-securing them. Check that timber battens are clamping the polythene firmly.
This indicates insufficient tension. Re-tension the polythene cover as described above. Ensure the structure itself is level.
Verify that the ground tubes are securely hammered or concreted into the ground. Check that all frame joints and fixings are tight. Ensure the polythene cover is taut, as this contributes significantly to the structure's stability.
Ensure the ground tubes are installed vertically and are clear of debris. If they are slightly deformed, gentle adjustment might be needed. Consult the instruction manual for specific guidance on hoop insertion.
