Polytunnel Repair and Refurbishment Services

Domestic and commercial polytunnels covers are open to the vagaries of our weather patterns, but normally the lifespan is usually determined by material quality used and not associated with the thickness of the cover, the life expectancy can be anything from 8/15 years but you will need to ensure you make regular inspection checks and maintain it properly, helping to maximise their estimated longevity of service, most manufacturer's will usually offer up to a 5 year guarantee. You will need to be aware of this when placing any of these structures into a designated location, as you may need to select the best position that will offer the polytunnel some protection, such as alongside hedging or trees even walling, remembering not to place the polytunnel too close to any obstructions that could damage or puncture the covering. Always replace damaged fixtures and fittings to ensure the correct tension on the cover. The nature of the material means that you will have to ensure you carry out any polytunnel repairs as soon as they are detected and they must be dealt with immediately and correctly, as tears or holes can lead to a more expense complete refurbishment, you will require a complete polytunnel refurbishment when the life expectancy is reached, this must be an excepted consideration when deciding to purchase this type of build.

 


Think about using Anti-Hot-Spot-Tape this is used by applying it to the hoop frame, before fitting the polythene cover, this helps protect the polythene degradation by reducing friction and heat within the frame of the tunnel.

           

Polytunnel refurbishment might feel a bit of a costly exercise, but in reality the cost is minimal depending on the size of cover to be replaced and even then it is considered very cost effective, but this is the reason why polythene is so widely used, because of its versatility in this type of build structure. Replacing damaged or worn structural fittings of the polytunnel with new replacements as stated will also save money in the long run. The more complex side of a polytunnel refurbishment can involve adding an extension or simply extending the length or height of the polytunnel. You can even convert an existing tunnel into a storage area and or an animal housing/shelter. The versatility of this type of structure means you can easily add window vents or doors, depending on what type of machinery will be used inside it, or simply ease of work access and or the type of crop to be grown, that may require extra venting, or simply the type of covering from total blackout to green and onto white clear covering all of these do compliment the individual crops that require different growing environments.

 

 

Repairs and Renewal

It's easy to carry out certain polytunnel repairs or even a polytunnel refurbishment on a domestic or garden polytunnel because of the size. However, due to certain build types such as commercial or multi span, their size and complexity offers a different approach to be considered. Commercial polytunnels may require refurbishment specialist, these professionals have the right tools and equipment for any size of build and will complete any refurbishment efficiently. Otherwise, by not involving tradesmen that deal with repairs and refurbishments day in day out who know how costly it could be when positioning a cover in place, thus avoiding tears or wrongly fitted fixtures being used, as well as ensuring the correct tension on the covering and if they do get it wrong they have to replace it free of charge.
