Should I Refurbish My Polytunnel?

How do you know when it is time to refurbish your polytunnel?

 

It is not always easy to know when to refurbish your polytunnel. Many gardeners put their polytunnel refurbishments on hold until it is too late. If you do that, you risk losing all of your plant stock. That is why you must carry out regular maintenance to ensure your Polytunnel cover is in good condition and not in need of any repairs, as with everything at some stage due to natural wear and tear of being exposed to outdoor weather elements, a polytunnel refurbishment will be required and you need to set aside a budget for this cost, as this type of constructiondoes have a limited life expectancy, particularly on the covering, which bears the brunt of most weather conditions.

 

You must also remember that more extensive polytunnel refurbishment projects cost more money. Not all of us are lucky enough to get away with just replacing our polytunnel covers.

 

Refurbishment After Damage

 

If your polytunnel has been damaged, it is important that you spring into action as soon as possible. Damaged polytunnels covers will let pests into your tunnel and at worst no longer give protection to young plants. It could mean that you lose all of your vunerable plants.

 

When you rely on your polytunnel to produce all of your family's vegetables, you need to make sure that damage is repaired quickly. If the damage is very severe, get in touch with your insurance company as they may compensate for the damage,or offer you a certain value dependant on the age and condition.

 

Growing New Plants

 

Another reason for replacing your polytunnels covers or adding a new cover is when you would like to grow new seasonal plants to offer them good protection.

 

For instance, some exotic plants will need better protection from the elements than others. The best thing to do before you get planting is to think about what you need. Make a list and get in touch with a polytunnel supplier. You will find that there are specialist polytunnels covers that will keep your plants and crops better protectedwhilst offering the enhanced growing environment.
