Northern Polytunnels Reviews 

Now it’s finally finished, it looks great and has already survived its first gale so really pleased with that but there was more sweat , tears and time than I expected!
The advice is to assemble and anchor one side first and do the second side afterwards. I realised they needed to be 4 m apart but was that the outside edge, the inside edge or the middle? To try to make sure the arches would fit, I felt it safer to assemble the whole frame first. I then had to move it to get the anchors in place and back again and to lift it over the anchors to get to the right position, which wasn’t actually too bad and I was able to do that single handed. What I couldn’t do was screw in all the anchors to full depth. I managed to do one but none of the others would screw in due to our rocky, stoney ground. I was able to dig deep enough for two of them whilst the final one hit concrete all the time about a foot down. All three were done with postcrete along with crossed fingers, on the advice of Northern Polytunnels. When it finally came to pulling the roof over, I got help from our neighbours as it is bloody heavy! Try as we might, we could not get one of the corners to meet and the roof was full of bulges. Tried again a few days later. This time, I laid the roof down in slats and made sure it matched the ends of the frame. Still the same problem. My neighbour, who is a builder, stood back from the frame and said what I’d been thinking- are you sure it’s square? He measured the diagonals and they were considerably different to each other other. We disconnected the anchors from one end, loosened them at the other and pushed the whole structure up hill until the diagonals were equal- about 5 feet on that end. Now I needed more concrete and two new anchors. A few days later and the roof came up perfectly, the corners came to the right place with the right tension as did the rest of the sides. One thing I did change. On the diagrams, the corner ratchets are shown on the inside of the poles but when I did this, the strap had to come around to the inside of the pole and this looked and felt all wrong.I moved it to the outside of the pole giving a straight pull down for the strap, which looked a lot better.
Done now and as I said, it looks the business and I am proud of it and pleased with it- just wish it hadn’t taken quite so long!
I do think that 2 sheets of instruction and photos really wasn’t adequate. Do you have a you tube video on it? I do feel that something like that would have been very helpful . I have to say that you were all very good and very prompt when it came to answering my questions, so top marks for that!

Really like my polytunnel! And it was relatively easy to put up.

Delivery was slightly delayed and sadly parts were missing (ordered a 6x4m and basically got a 4x4m) however the response from NPT (David Meechan) was superb, the items were sourced and quickly replaced. Assembly is fairly easy and instructions clear (only challenge is pulling cover over the frame, took four of us but it was windy!! So far the tunnel has been up a few weeks through two pretty strong autumn storms (50-60 mph gusts). It has stood up well, its very dry inside and the frame is large tubular steel and very heavy duty, the frame will see me in the ground for sure! The ground anchors are also very decent and the shelter has not moved an inch since install. My daughters two horses love it and therefore so do I! If any other woman asked me to spend a fortune on two animals who eat money I would tell them to do one!!!!!!!! Great product so far and will repost after 6 months.

Parts arrived on time after a swift response answering my query.

The website is user friendly, but the staff (especially Dave) were super helpful. Got a lot of help and guidance.

Happy with purchase, Quick delivery.

Great product good delivery service.

Ordered a small 4.5x2.5m polytunnel and the whole experience from the ease of online ordering to the on-time delivery was first class. Printed instructions, backed with the online video made assembly straightforward, and the overall quality and rigidity of the structure gives me great confidence that it will last for many years.

Easy configuration online, easy ordering, prompt delivery (very well packaged) and excellent support.

9x4 metre easy build tunnel. Well designed and manufactured. Easy enough for one person to erect but two to cover on a calm day.

Absolutely no complaints.

This product is outstanding and fantastic value for money. The quality of the tunnel and parts and the instruction video sent in advance were all brilliant. Very very happy with the product and I would highly recommend NP to anyone. One of the good things is that there is no wood used, it's all aluminium, steel and plastic so no rot will occur.

First class company reasonable price items really good fast delivery would recommend I will be buying in the future thank you

I was able to get help over the telephone and it really is such a relief to speak to a real human voice who can understand my problem and guide me through the pathway on the computer to order just what `I need. Your human workers are invaluable and as I am old I could probably not trade with you without them. Everything worked smoothy and arrived promptly.

The best poly tunnel in my allotment by a mile. The video accompanying the instructions were invaluable. I can’t give 5 stars as there were missing parts in the first delivery

speedy delivery a very well engineered sturdy product very good instructions very helpful video l wouldn't say it was an easy build wiggle wire is hard to put in at the end of the structure you need strong hands other than that well worth the money very helpful staff if you have any problems

Great product for the price, fast delivery. Helpful staff with questions. Took us 1/2 day to install and happy with it.

Great company, easy to order.

The price of the Anti-Hot-Spot tape is really grest - move over amazon! It came very quickly in time for the new poly-tunnel to go up. Great service.

Very quick delivery,, able to use straight away.,
