I bought mine from a firm called Northern Polytunnels,part of LBS Horticulture.

They actually manufacture them and make the polythene too so they are cheap.

It's a 24x14 ft with 4ft straight sides and a height of 8ft and it cost me £300 delivered,8 years ago.

I don't think they're much more today.

It's far more sturdy than a lot of the others on the market,as it has thicker guage steel pipes than many other firms and I still have the original cover on after 8 years. :D
