What is the 14ft wide x 16ft long Polytunnel (BUDGET or EasyGro range)?
The EasyGro range is our basic starter polytunnel without stinting on quality. Polythene is TRENCHED or buried in the ground. It is the cheapest way of attaching the polythene.
What is included in the EasyGro 14ft x 16ft Polytunnel kit:
- High Tensile Z35 Galvanised Steel Hoops & Bracing
Steel is more corrosion resistant than a galvanised tube
- Front Timber H Frame Gable end
- 1 x Single Hinged Timber door c/w dropbar and holder
- Rear Timber H Gable end with large Net vent (promotes air circulation around plants but keeps pests out!)
- 1000G Polythene Clear Thermic Anti-Drip
- Anti Hot Spot Tape for all hoops (not just ends!)
- UV Repair tape included
- Polytunnel Building instructions
VAT INCLUDED

What is TANELITH E Treated timber? TANALISED E pressure treated timber has been impregnated with TANALITH E, a waterborne product based on copper triazole technology. Copper is derived from recycled sources and triazoles are organic biodegradable biocides, commonly used to protect many of the food crops we eat... For More Details..?
How is polythene attached? Trenching or Burying the polythene
With the EasyGro range, polythene is attached by burying the polythene in the ground. A trench is dug all around the tunnel and polythene is buried into trenched and soil is put on top. Building instructions available.
Polythene:
Option 1: The standard polythene we use is a 1000G Thermic Anti-Drip Polythene. This is a clear film with the additional benefits of Thermic and Anti-drip properties.
'Thermic' - raises the temperature of the internal temperature by approx.1 to 2 Degrees celsius above the outside temperature.
'Anti-Drip' or 'Anti-Fog' - condensation evaporates or rolls off the polythene.
Option 2: Diffused Thermic 840G Polythene - This is a diffused film with the additional benefits of been Thermic.
'Thermic' - raises the temperature of the internal temperature by approx.1 to 2 Degrees celsius above the outside temperature.
'Diffused' - the sun's rays are 'dispersed' or 'diffused' to prevent plant scorching. The same amount of light is allowed in.
Polythene Warranty: A manufacturer's warranty against UVI degradation of the polythene is 5-6 years depending on the type of polythene picked. This warranty does not cover accidental damage, malicious damage, storm damage or general wear and tear etc.
