Go as big as you can with a tunnel, that is the comment I endorse and use with an addition. Go as big as you can plus 6ft...Steve...😁👍

The best KZbin gardener by far. In terms of sharing a true real life experiences. Good and the bad. True honesty. Proper round of applause to the lad. Keep doing, what you do best…. Or worst! We love it all. Salute

Actually got mine from Premier poly tunnels a family run business who were great to deal with. 2 off us(ladies) put it up the week before xmas and finished it on xmas day about 7yrs ago, we even celebrated by sitting in it having a drink and sandwiches because it was so cosy.

Are they based in Burnley?

[@28fabrice]

Thank you for sharing Is that company still running please?

[@paulinemorris5186]

Yes

Great tips Tony, I bought mine last year after watching your videos, best thing I’ve done! Even now on a cold wet January day I can pop down and potter around in it! Cheers 👍

[@nigelnorman1928]

Your enthusiasm is infectious…love it.

[@niallgardens]

Really interesting video! We've inherited a (quite elderly!) polytunnel when we bought this place, so I'm working on renovating it. Last year, to save time I grew my tomatoes and cucumbers in tubs, but this year I'm going to create some beds. Cool to see how you've laid yours out 👍

[@MissFlutterGirl]

I needed this video a couple of years ago 😆 lol. We have a cheap “blow away” polytunnel and this weekend we’ll be modifying it and strengthening it because the zip in the door has broken amongst other things.

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

Love your enthusiasm! I am in the process of getting an allotment and want to get a poly-tunnel.

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Some great information Tony and I’m with you on poly tunnel the whole allotment 👍👍😁thank you for your precious time

[@alansallotment]

Another great video Tony, thanks for the advice

[@allotmentgardeningatplot5040]

Excellent thanks my one is on its way. Those tips are just what I needed

[@phyllis_jr7366]

Great and warm tips!

[@Backpacker1uk]

Good advice on the polythene and cold weather I remember putting felt on a shed roof when it was cold never again it cracked going over the ridge I would imagine polythene is the same.

[@christinebrooks6364]

Great video Tony, im thinking of buying a polytunnel for 2022 season, thanks for the advice

[@OddSocksandSpontaneity]

Top notch advice! Thank you!!

[@teresacondren6404]

Great advice Tony. I was glad that I paid extra for thicker hoops and a better grade of plastic when I bought mine last March. I should have ordered crop bars and all the extras at initial purchase as I live in northern Ireland and shipping is £35. But we learn as we go on. Great video as usual x

[@harmonicresonanceproject]

I'm glad that this was the first polytunnel video I watched. I have been browsing on Amazon as you say!

[@1stBumbleBeeMaster]

Poly Tunnels are awesome! I totally agree what you said "You only get what you pay for" Cheap poly tunnels are ok for the first few months but the cost of keep replacing the covers when the wind breaks the zips etc works out just as much as an expensive one. Definitely do what Tony said people and shop around and get the best quality that you can afford.

[@everythingshewants4555]

Hiya. We inherited a polytunnel with our house we bought in march. I've been prepping for weeks and today finally planted up. It's enormous, probably 12+ feet long.thanks for your informative video, I'll be working my way through the rest 😂

[@GrowWithKit]

Enjoyed the video thanks for the tips

[@LookintomyBarrel]

Thanks Very Helpful....

[@beverley1539]

Hello from Ontario Canada Thankyou Colette @Bealtaine cottage has had her tunnel 17 years! Unfortunately at this time no space for me,but good advice. Blessings to you and yours 🐝

[@johnrobinson6722]

Great video Tony, I'm buying mine this week but its supply and fit and it has 6mm polycarbon, I'm takimg the easy route.

[@patjoyce7247]

Great video Tony. Too late for me the novice! I've been and bought a cheapie, half up. Never mind, I'll make the most of it while its up. Probably the best advice I've seen so far though.👉👍👈

[@pamdhaliwal3118]

Great advice Tony...if only I had space for a polytunnel...I am making do with my raised pallet planter beds that look like 4 poster beds...covered in polythene sheet..🤭...but they work for me so I'm happy with them..😃

[@midtexasgardener5422]

Good video. That's good to know. Yes take your time

[@evergreenanne]

Great advice! I was thinking about getting one, but it would be small so think I will get a polycarbonate greenhouse instead.

[@marypheanis9165]

Wonderful tips thank you God bless order seeds to get rid of winter blues

[@KHKH-os6kt]

Ha ! Just love your style of voice. The character in your voice makes it sound that you might break out into tall sailing tales at any moment.

[@skippy5506]

I think I rushed putting mine up, put the frame up one afternoon then the cover the next morning, I may have made a few mistakes 😅 but it’s definitely not going anywhere 😂 I’m going to take my time with the next one and get it perfect 😁

[@andrewrichardson984]

Nice one Tony. Am thinking of getting one also. But first going to knock one up from couple old trampolines first see how much produce I get before full investment. Great channel by the way. Stay safe Andy West Yorkshire

[@user-ke2tz3cs7o]

❤❤❤ Thank you so much

[@robmcnaughton1086]

Would love a poly tunnel .On my wish list soon i hope.I feel envious of those who have one as I love starting seed and plants early.Oh well.one day

[@waynepearce6120]

very interesting one question your raised beds can see edging by path was there edging next to polythene

[@markshaw5835]

I got a plastic greenhouse. But thinking I need to upgrade it. Every time the wind come I worry lol what that tape u got to fix your plastic?

[@matth1210]

Quick question Tony do you mesh half the door? Or cover it all in plastic? If so do you leave the door open in the summer for air flow

[@Breaking_views_uk_official]

Hello what size tunnel is this one?

[@karwolmills1870]

Can I ask if a polly tunnel would block my allotment neighbours light?

[@wardy5555]

where do you get all your seeds for growing all your veg and fruit Tony? Cheers. keep up the great work.

[@TonyCSmith]

Premier Seeds Direct

[@yap2yapaway]

What make and model of a poly tunnel is that ?

[@dn744]

I got a 3m by 4.5m to get winter over. Now I will be getting a 6m by 10m in march.

[@cw2126]

I am all ears a sub from Steve @green side up channel 👍👍👍

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

your area has to be taken into consideration, tony. vandals can make a polytunnel expensive. i'm lucky now living in a bungalow with a reasonable garden. i now possess a 3m x 3m polytunnel and i'm happy with the size. i'm keeping my allotment on. this gives me 2 options for growing. i have the go ahead for a plot share. the lucky bugger who jumps in with me has the benefit of a greenhouse on the plot for their own use. lucky bugger. ( i can't get into it any more ).......................brian

[@markfrancis9106]

Great tips Tony, one day I will own one😂👍

[@SedriqMiers]

not in the post covid world you'd need to sell a kidney the price is exorbitant. Go for the DIY option .!

[@ryanalexander3088]

@@SedriqMiers post? Still in the mix 😅😂

[@johnnoble7610]

Tony was thinking about your electric. The breaker in your shed probably be 16amp have a look mate. Cos you might need a 32amp and that might sort your problem mate.

[@TonyCSmith]

I’ll have a look 👍😀

[@stephenbrammall2565]

I think the time's come you need a second tunnel Tony...as Steve says, Big, Big and Big...

[@timothyyoung4463]

From the US here... can anyone explain to me this allotment that so many people keep talking about? Thanks!

[@elizabethlowe4607]

It's important to mention some Societies have restrictions on dimensions.

[@beverley1539]

Oh forgot to mention we have a saying here ( go big or go home) lol Ontario Canada 🐝

[@mikiknops9667]

I would make it myself, not buying it. Just buying pipes and weld them together. I can chose size, sturdiness and quality.

[@jpennturner]

Hi, I have about six inches of water in my polytunnel at the moment!

[@angelinegrows7765]

Me too,I put about 8 inches of wood chip in the bottom to help but I still have a small lake to paddle through to get in

[@user-yf2lj4qe4o]

Hello Tony😊🥦🥒🌶🍆🍅🥕🐶

[@swojto2598]

Hello Tony, I think you will find your poly tunnel is 14’ x. 18’ not the 18’ x 24’ you mentioned. Men always exaggerate.......... Stefan.

[@TonyCSmith]

☺️

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

i can give you a major tip on buying a polytunnel, tony. don't bother if you've got one leg and don't know anyone with a bit of common sense. lol........................brian
