Outdoor Classroom! Our Premium 16ft wide x 40ft long Garden Pride Polytunnel
The Garden Pride Polytunnels are ideal for outdoor classrooms, for schools, gardens, or demo areas in allotments. For low maintenance and durability, we use our heavy duty block ALUMINIUM cladding rails to attach the polythene to the polytunnel structure. No plastic or wire inserts are used.

Polythene Options:
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.
