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.
