If a 16ft polytunnel is just the right size, not too big and not too small, then you have come to the right place. Simply select the 16ft option and you will be able to choose to purchase a polytunnel kit containing everything you need to make a tunnel of just that size. You can click 'What's in the kit' to find out more about exactly what is included with your 16ft polytunnel and should you require anything else, we have just what you need in our wide range of add-ons and accessories.
Crop bars, base rails, sliding doors and staging can all make it easier to get a bumper yield from your 16ft polytunnel, whether it is for a large domestic set up or commercial use. Don't forget, adding on those extras could not only make your life a lot easier, it can also save you money with our great bonus savings scheme. You can tot up savings of up to 20%! A fairly large polytunnel such as this one is the perfect step up into commercial production and is the smallest commercial size polytunnel we provide. It could be the perfect, cost-effective way to boost your smallholding or other small business venture.
Although the smallest in our range of Commercial structures, the 16ft (4.88m) wide Polytunnel is ideal for many of the demands placed on it by professional growers. The shape lends itself to exceptionally good clearance for working, with ample height for cultivating tall plants and for hanging baskets. It's super strong thanks to 50.8mm diameter E370 high tensile pre-galvanised steel tubing. Every component of this Polytunnel has been developed specifically for this structure, no adapting, no fuss.

Excellent product, very clear instructions, good quality materials. Only slight niggle is that the cover could have been another meter wider and longer, enough sent but just on the tight side to install the way I like to do these. |

I would love to rate First Tunnels more than five. Although I have not yet finished constructing mine the communication with the staff from initial order to delivery and opening the packaging is brilliant. They could not be more helpful, the delivery was on time when I wanted it the packaging was fantastic everything you need. Quality is excellent I could not believe the high standard. I am only half way through construction but confident all will go well and I know I can phone anytime if I have any problems. |

Easy to erect if you have more than one person, I did most of the work alone and just had help to place the cover. If you have the room prep all the parts first. There is lots of nails in the kit, but I would have liked to maybe seen some screws in place of the 6inch nails as I had to replace one door rail as it split when hammering the nail through a knot. |

The support hoops are 51.5mm diameter, galvanised inside and out. The crop bars and various strengthening components are similar quality. Door framing, hinges and staples etc all top quality. Nothing was skimped on, no corners cut. Quality covering as well, of course. |
We supply Timber Hinged Doors at each end, Anti Hot Spot Tape, Timber Base Rails and of course the Framework to support our 200 micron Super Therm Polythene cover. These options are pre-selected below, but can be amended to suit your needs.
You will be required to secure the foundations into concrete, alternative methods of securing the polytunnel can be selected, eliminating the requirement of concrete – see ‘Polytunnel Foundation’ section.
