At the moment I have polytunnel envy.
Next plot has one with a home made frame (wood, mains poly water pipe, all
sorts) but a proper cover.
Said the cover cost about £80.

Now Google offers me either cheap (£60 ish) flimsy looking things which
are generally described as useful for starting things off before taking
down for the autumn/winter, or more serious looking stuff around the £250
mark for a 6 * 10 or 8 * 10 tunnel.

So has anyone found a cheap source for robust polytunnels?

Prices around the £100 mark might be nice.

Prices over £150 have me calculating how many years I could spend in Lidl
buying their tomatoes and peppers before I got my money back.
[£3 a week for 50 weeks gets me a whole load of veggies - how long to grow
enough fresh tomatoes and peppers to last me 50 weeks?.]


No supplier recommendations yet, and a general feeling that DIY may be the
way to go.

To answer questions - size required is 6' * 10' or 8' * 10' - so about 3
metres in length.
Budget around £150 or less than £100 if possible.
