What is a Polytunnel Refurbishment?

Whether you are looking for polytunnel repairs services or to purchase a new polytunnel, if you have been doing research online, you've no doubt come across plenty of references to polytunnel refurbishment services.  So, what exactly are these refurbishment services and do you need them?

 

The word refurbishment can have two different definitions, either:

1. the state of being returned to its former good condition
2. a condition superior to an earlier condition.

 

Consequently, polytunnel refurbishment can be the repair and replacement of any damaged parts to return the polytunnel to its original condition. Alternatively, it can be the enhancement of the existing structure through the addition of new features. Let's look at both options and see why it's worthwhile using a polytunnel refurbishment service.

 

Refurbish and Repair

If you currently own a domestic or garden polytunnel, you most likely installed it yourself. The DIY aspect of a polytunnel is one of its many advantages over a traditional greenhouse. If you successfully installed your own polytunnel, then chances are you should be able to manage a refurbishment that involves replacing damaged hoops or changing the polytunnel cover. However, if your tunnel has received significant storm damage, and repairs are time-critical then talking to refurbishment experts such as PolytunnelsRus could speed up the repair process.

 

When it comes to commercial polytunnels, engaging a professional refurbishment service is recommended. Not only do they have the correct equipment and tools to do any inspection and repairs safely. They are also efficient, minimising any disruption to your business. Recovering large or multi-span polytunnels is not a straightforward process, especially when tension is critical to the long term durability of your tunnel.

 

Enhance and Improve

Polytunnel refurbishment isn't just about repair and replacement but also about improvement. As your hobby or commercial needs change, so can your polytunnel. You might find a polytunnel no longer gives you sufficient growing space. No problem, it's easy to extend the tunnel by adding additional hoops. Perhaps your business is having a change in direction and now needs animal shelter instead of crop space. Again it's not a problem. You can change the polytunnel covering to reduce heat transfer and add ventilation to the sides of the structure. Perhaps you're delighted with your polytunnel the way it is but want to reduce your workload. Retrofitting a water collection and irrigation system could be a great solution.

 

Refurbish and Save

Knowing what polytunnel refurbishment is and how it can help you, opens up a world of money-saving opportunities. Thanks to Polytunnel refurbishment you can buy a second-hand tunnel with confidence. Quality polytunnel tunnel frames are very durable and will last decades if properly cared for so most likely you'll just need to replace the cover. Refurbishment also saves you the expense of buying a new polytunnel when your needs change. Upsizing or downsizing your polytunnel is easy to do and will save you considerable time and effort as well as expense.
