It took the two of us a while to construct the tunnel (as we had limited time) but well worth the effort. It looks great, and hopefully will perform that way! |

So far I have not been impressed. I paid £72 extra for screw anchors that crack and warp, ultimately bending the entire structure out of shape. (That is by hand, in brand new soil and a 5ft 1 female! Pictures attached). We had the wrong side struts with the pack so had to wait for replacements. The screws and nails are like chocolate. You have to saw everything, so additional investment in a hack saw for the aluminium frame; which didn’t have the shorter strips/ link joints that were supposed to be provided as per video and instructions. A wood saw to cut all the framework to make the doors and the wood bends so when it comes to hanging it it isn’t straight. The cover had a scratch/hole in it. So far it’s a very bad experience for an expensive asset. |

This is a quality product. However I would ensure that you give yourself plenty of time to put it up. I have only been able to work on it for 2 or 4 hrs at a time and it’s taken me weeks to do it. If you are not a confident DIYer I would recommend you get someone to do it for you or help. It’s not easy to erect and, depending on the site, it will take you a lot of time to get it square. So - it’s a great product BUT make sure you are able and have plenty of time! |

All components are good quality and the build is not difficult - the YouTube videos were really helpful. We were building in a confined space which is not ideal, if possible allow enough room round the edges for easy movement (with tools!). The watering system is easy to fit and works well - all in all, we think we've got an impressively professional-looking polytunnel for a couple of amateurs! |

Difficult to put together and doors could be better. I used screws to put it up and not the nails that were provided. |

Was quite disappointed with the door uprights, as bowed badly, and the battening was very rough and had lots of knots, so broke easily.... parts and instruction book, a little confusing, although the support videos we very helpful. All in all once up did take 3 days not 5 hours, however, all good. |

I am 'five star' pleased with the service I had from the sales and technical teams; I had friendly, prompt and intelligent responses. I am also pleased with the finished product. The loss of one star in my ranking is because the construction was more difficult than I had imagined, it is more than DIY, you actually need professional handyman skills> With help drafted in and slow progress through the instruction manual, I ended up with a construction bill well above the purchase price. So either warn people or make it simpler in design (there were many fixings that could have been more conveniently designed) |
