I have the opportunity of scoring a free 2.5 x 2.5 m polytunnel from a mate.

What experiences have you folk had with polytunnels/glasshouses?

What benefits do you see, what advantages and disadvantages.

FYI if needed we have frosts in winter sometimes down to -2, summers in to
the mid 20s and sometimes high 20s with humidity and decent rainfall through
the year. The polytunnels will be unheated if used.

thanks

cheers Baal. The second article was good reading. I had read it some time
ago from casual interest. It dawned on me the old boy across the road has a
green house, I'll pop over to see him on the weekend with a few questions.
