Definitely go with the UV inhibited stuff, otherwise you'll be replacing regular poly every 2nd or 3rd year which is a real headache (and expense).

First tunnel can not recommend them enough, first class service.  Type in your sizes, pay and they send the plastic out with a 5 year guarantee.

Just had a look at this ---- looks good.

Our mintunnel will need a new cover soon (unless we are very very lucky) so one with a 5yr guarantee is certainly worth considering
