What is a backyard polytunnel?
A backyard polytunnel gives you a covered growing structure that creates a protected area for your plants, veggies or seedlings to grow. By combining a covered roof and 2 metre high adjustable sidewalls, you can protect crops from heavy rain, manage airflow and control internal temperatures of your tunnel area, while reducing pest access to your crops.
WHY GROW IN THE PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT OF A POLYTUNNEL
Give home growing its own space
Bring your vegetables, herbs, flowers or seedlings into one planned growing area. Choose soil beds, raised beds or pots, and leave room to walk, water and harvest.
1
Reduce access for garden pests
Insect mesh walls provides a physical barrier across the side openings while allowing ventilation. Sliding doors can be closed when they’re not in use, while providing easy access when needed.
2
Adjustable airflow as conditions change
Roll up the sidewalls to let air move through the tunnel in warmer weather. Roll down the Solarweave cover when weather cools to extend your growing season and harvests.
3
What your tunnel could look like…
Picture an ordinary day in your GROW Tunnel. Pot up a tray of seedlings. Water where it’s needed. Pick what’s ready and enjoy in your next meal.
Your layout might include a few rows of leafy greens, herbs and edible flowers in pots, trellises of cucumbers and tomatoes or a dedicated seedling area. The possibilities are endless.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABOUT the MINI Grow Tunnel
-
Absolutely. The best place to start is to work out how much fresh produce you eat each week and then work out how much space you need to grow it. From there you can determine the best size tunnel you require.
-
We can’t guarantee that 100% but as long as no-one leaves the door open, your veggies should be much safer inside your GROW Tunnel. Animals such as birds and rabbits will find it much harder to munch on all your hard work.
-
Yes, home grown flowers are very popular inside our tunnels and can easily be grown on their own or alongside other crops. Pots are a great way to achieve this if you're short of space.
-
This depends on where you are located, but regardless of location you should be able to cultivate most crops. The time of year for cultivation will vary depending on your location e.g. subtropical vs. temperate climates.
One of the huge benefits of a polytunnel is that it extends the seasons by providing extra warmth during the winter months and prevents heavy rain and wind from damaging your crops all year round.
-
This comes down to lots of factors and is largely down to the person doing the growing. There are however a number of recommended extras designed to help you achieve optimum crop health.
Including a retractable internal shade net in your tunnel will allow you to regulate the amount of shade and sun your crops get.
Fans are also a great tool for increasing air flow and keeping the temperature lower in the hottest times of the year. Depending on your level of growing experience and time commitment, sensors can help take a lot of the guesswork out of growing and save you time too.
