3mtr polly tunnel £9.99
« on: February 15, 2009, 16:29 »
just been to b&q and they are selling polly tunnels for £9.99 they are 40cm high,  50cm wide and 3mtr long.   i thought this was cheap, is it,   anyway i decided to invest in one ready for the off in a couple of weeks hopefully.
so if anyone fancies one themselves you know where to go.

sorry i dont know how to put a link on

How good are they as for that price? I assume they are flimsy.
If not then I'll be whipping down to grab a few this week  :D

the poundshop ones are fairly flimsy but if you're careful when putting them together they'll last the season.

They last a season, But they also have a set of 3 plastic coated steel arches and fleece, which make a great fleece tunnel for £2

would they be worth it though? i.e. if we had a 5mph wind would it get blown to bits?

Yeah, my dad does it too - then he stands there laughing his head off while the poor assistant cries quietly in a corner.

As long as you ensure the hoops are pushed far enough into the ground, they'll be ok - or at least, mine were fine and I hope to re-use them this year if the plastic hasn't disintegrated too far
