small green poly tunnel

because we seemed  to have a build up of plants or I had to many veg plants in the greenhouse  my O/H said they stopping her from growing her flower plants and seeds we decided to buy a small green poly tunnel for the allotment  next year [already bought one in ready]

once up we hope we can use it to store our veg plants from the greenhouse prior to planting although we already have the conventional type tunnel's at home I just wondered if anyone has bought the same and how they rated them

I know the tunnel will need good anchorage down the allotment as it gets quite windy down there at times and info much appreciated

edit to clarify title for search purposes

Ours lasted six years as it was sited in the shelter of a shed. Trench the cover in properly, put hotspot tape on the frame, make sure it is really taught. Keep the zips well lubricated with vaseline or WD40 to extend their life, make sure nothing rubs on the cover and if a small hole does appear, use repair tape both inside and out on a dry surface.

And enjoy it 

ditto what others are saying.

I have had mine five years now.  BUT I have blue water pipe on the uprights and arches.  All the uprights are tied to wooden supports driven  a foot into the ground.  I have shelves inside and each shelf leg is in the groung a foot and tied to the pt uprights as well.
The cover lasted a couple of months before the zipped opening broke.  So I made a door frame sunk into the ground a foot and put a plywood door on to it.

It lasted like this for three years before the cover eventually gave out altogether, so I purchased a proper uv polythene cover from a polytunnel site, fixed a wooden frame around the base and fixed it. It has gone through quite a lot of windy weather.  It helps that one side is my shed and the other side is a compost bin.  And the back is near a fence, so quite a sheltered spot.

People on our site that do not do all this, tend to come up to the plot to a twisted metal mess with the cover disappeared.

So, it will work, but you have to really secure it well on many points and know that the green cover will fail within a couple of years.

Sounds perfick! 

 I never gave the hoops a thought snow white so following your advise I've  noted that in my garden book when I put it up in spring it mite be worth putting  some bracing post's the side of the hoops

as I said I have other tunnels that have quite robust hoops so never had any problems from that and my poly tunnel cover lasted would you believe 15 years

anyway thanks all for the info
